More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Even the stove and the refrigerator looked human, I mean good human - they seemed to have arms and voices and they said, hang around, kid, it's good here, it can be very good here.
Charles Bukowski
That's your response to everything: drink? No, that's my response to nothing.
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
But my whole life has been a matter of fighting for one simple hour to do what I want to do. There was always something getting in the way of my getting to myself.
Charles Bukowski
Why do we embroider everything we say with special emphasis when all we really need to do is simply say what needs to he said? Of course the fact is that there is very little that needs to be said.
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
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
Charles Bukowski
I am too sick to lay down the sidewalks frighten me the whole damned city frightens me, what I will become what I have become frightens me.
Charles Bukowski
I was laying in bed one night and I thought 'I'll just quit - to hell with it.' And another little voice inside me said 'Don't quit - save that tiny little ember of spark.' And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.
Charles Bukowski
and even the trees we walked under seemed less than trees and more like everything else.
Charles Bukowski
It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.
Charles Bukowski
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
Charles Bukowski
I am aware that a computer can’t create a poem, but neither can a typewriter.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing else as pleasant as being unpleasant when there's nothing else to do, and there's usually nothing else to do.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love.
Charles Bukowski
Trouble and pain were what kept a man alive. Or trying to avoid trouble and pain. It was a full time job.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.
Charles Bukowski
