Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.

Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
Banion wondered which was worse - being sodomized by aliens, or having to sit through two hours of Charles Ives.
Charles Bukowski
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?
Charles Bukowski
i was born to hustle roses down the avenue of the dead.
Charles Bukowski
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
Charles Bukowski
The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
