More quotes by Charles Bukowski
He had long nostril hairs, powerfully intimidating, like an unscheduled nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.
Charles Bukowski
she knew what she wanted and it wasn't / me. / I know more women like that than any / other kind.
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski
Alcohol is probably one of the greatest things to arrive upon the earth - alongside of me.
Charles Bukowski
People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.
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
Never get out of bed before noon.
Charles Bukowski
Baby, I said. I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.
Charles Bukowski
…He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.
Charles Bukowski
They were beautiful nothings
Charles Bukowski
I am not like other people. I am burning in hell. The hell of myself.
Charles Bukowski
Of course, there would always be arguments. That is the nature of Woman. They like the mutual exchange of dirty laundry, a bit of screaming, a bit of dramatics. Then an exchange of vows.
Charles Bukowski
Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter of choosing between something bad and something worse?
Charles Bukowski
People do too much. They say too much.
Charles Bukowski
It was like a church in there as only the truly lost sit in bars on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
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
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
nobody ever finds the one
