More quotes by Charles Bukowski
don't be ashamed of anything I guess God meant it all like locks on doors.
Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
Never bring a lot of money to where a poor man lives. He can only lose what little he has. On the other hand it is mathematically possible that he might win whatever you bring with you. What you must do, with money and the poor, is never let them get too close to one another.
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
All our days are marked with/ unexpected/ affronts--some/ disastrous, others/ less so/ but the process is/ wearing and/ continuous./ Attrition rules./ Most give/ way/ leaving/ empty spaces/ where people should/ be.

Charles Bukowski
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
Charles Bukowski
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
For each Joan of Arc there is a Hitler perched at the other end of the teeter-totter.
Charles Bukowski
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
Charles Bukowski
a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )
Charles Bukowski
I tell you such fine music waits in the shadows of hell.
Charles Bukowski
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
Charles Bukowski
and then there are some who believe that old relationships can be revived and made new again. but please if you feel that way don't phone don't write don't arrive
Charles Bukowski
... to die on a kitchen floor at 7 o'clock in the morning while other people are frying eggs is not so rough unless it happens to you.
Charles Bukowski
I feel no grief for being called something which I am not in fact, it's enthralling, somehow, like a good back rub
Charles Bukowski
