I was beaten down long ago in some alley in another world.
Charles Bukowski
I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!
Charles Bukowski
The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I wanted the whole world or nothing.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Charles Bukowski
To create art means to be crazy alone forever.
Charles Bukowski
if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.
Charles Bukowski
I am too sick to lay down the sidewalks frighten me the whole damned city frightens me, what I will become what I have become frightens me.
Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
The difference between a brave man and a coward is a coward thinks twice before jumping in the cage with a lion. The brave man doesn't know what a lion is. He just thinks he does.
Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
Charles Bukowski
