More quotes by Charles Bukowski
My flesh looked like it wasn't trying. It looked like it hated being part of me.
Charles Bukowski
The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left.
Charles Bukowski
agony sometimes changes form but it never ceases for anybody.
Charles Bukowski
To me Art (poetry) is a continuous and continuing process and that when a man fails to write good poetry he fails to live fully or well.
Charles Bukowski
If there are junk yards in hell, love is the dog that guards the gates.
Charles Bukowski
I would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.
Charles Bukowski
You were destroyed by what you befriended.
Charles Bukowski
there's no defense except all the errors made
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
dogs and angels are not very far apart
Charles Bukowski
I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.
Charles Bukowski
Homosexuals are delicate and bad poetry is delicate and [Allen] Ginsberg turned the tables by making homosexual poetry strong poetry, almost manly poetry but in the long run, the homo will remain the homo and not the poet.
Charles Bukowski
It's just that the grape has me down.
Charles Bukowski
you fall into the mirror, come through the other side staring at a lightbulb.
Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
You can forgive a fool because he only runs in one direction and doesn't deceive anybody. It's the deceivers who make you feel bad.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
Charles Bukowski
Potential, I said, doesn't mean a thing. You've got to do it. Almost every baby in a crib has more potential than I have.
Charles Bukowski
eleven months. now she's gone gone as they go.
Charles Bukowski
