More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.
Charles Bukowski
To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you you're frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.
Charles Bukowski
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.

Charles Bukowski
Four days alone with nothing. Emerge empowered. The first human face you see will knock you back 50%.
Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
He asked, What makes a man a writer? Well, I said, it's simple. You either get it down on paper, or jump off a bridge.
Charles Bukowski
Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.
Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
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
There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
Charles Bukowski
