More quotes by 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
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.

Charles Bukowski
It’s when you hide things that you choke on them.
Charles Bukowski
the sea is made of blood
Charles Bukowski
I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.
Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
More often than not Democratic Law works to the advantage of the few even though the many have voted this, of course, is because the few have told them how to vote.
Charles Bukowski
the people are the biggest horror show on earth, have been for centuries.
