More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski
Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
Do some living and get yourself a typewriter.
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
I don't know about other people, but when I wake up in the morning and put my shoes on, I think, Jesus Christ, now what?
Charles Bukowski
When you clean up a city, you destroy it.
Charles Bukowski
The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
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
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from failing.
