You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
Never get out of bed before noon.
Charles Bukowski
what matters most is how well you walk through the fire
Charles Bukowski
I had no feeling for the things so many others needed.
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
Once a woman turns against you, forget it. They can love you, then something turns in them. They can watch you dying in a gutter, run over by a car, and they'll spit on you.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Your writing, she said to me, it's so raw. It's like a sledgehammer, and yet it has humor and tenderness. . . .
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you
Charles Bukowski
What were you going to do tonight? I was going to listen to the songs of Rachmaninoff. Who's that? A dead Russian.
Charles Bukowski
That's how it is with books, isn't it: They're not in a hurry. They'll wait for you till you're ready. People empty me. I have to go away to refill.
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski
And there I was, 225 pounds, perpetually lost and confused, short legs, ape-like upper body, all chest, no neck, head too large, blurred eyes, hair uncombed, 6 feet of geek, waiting for her.
Charles Bukowski
Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski
and love is a word used too much and much too soon.
Charles Bukowski
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski
