Charles Bukowski
Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
Charles Bukowski
My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
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
I have no time for things that have no soul.
Charles Bukowski
We are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.
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
It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.
Charles Bukowski
