we sat there smoking cigarettes at 5 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
Charles Bukowski
Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it's enough.
Charles Bukowski
too often, the only escape is sleep
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
What good are you? What can you do? It has cost me a thousands of dollars to raise you, feed you, clothe you! Suppose I left you here on the street? Then what would you do? Catch butterflies
Charles Bukowski
You just rebel against everything. How are you going to survive? I don't know. I'm already tired.
Charles Bukowski
All a guy needed was a chance. Somebody was alway controlling who got a chance and who didn't.
Charles Bukowski
bad writing's like bad women: there's just not much you can do about it
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you.
Charles Bukowski
There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
Charles Bukowski
there is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space.
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 nine-to-five is one of the greatest atrocities sprung upon mankind. You give your life to a function that doesn't interest you. This situation so repelled me that I was driven to drink, starvation, and mad females, simply as an alternative.
Charles Bukowski
and love was lightning and remembrance
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
Love is a form of prejudice. I have too many other prejudices.
Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
I will put on my shoes and shirt and get out of here - it'll be better for all of us.
Charles Bukowski
