the best often die by their own hand just to get away, and those left behind can never quite understand why anybody would ever want to get away from them
Charles Bukowski
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
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
It was hard for me to believe. When recess was over I sat in class and thought about it. My mother had a hole and my father had a dong that shot juice. How could they have things like that and walk around as if everything was normal, and talk about things, and then do it and not tell anybody?
Charles Bukowski
Food is good for the nerves and the spirit. Courage comes from the belly – all else is desperation.
Charles Bukowski
You just rebel against everything. How are you going to survive? I don't know. I'm already tired.
Charles Bukowski
