More quotes by Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

I sit here drunk now. I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here without committing murder or being murdered without having ended up in the madhouse. as I drink alone again tonight my soul despite all the past agony thanks all the gods who were not there for me then.

There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
Our disappointment sits between us.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
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

Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!
Charles Bukowski
well, i don't know about you but I'm going to try everything! War, women, travel, marriage, children, the works. [...]. I want to know about things, what makes them work!
Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
Charles Bukowski
I tell you such fine music waits in the shadows of hell.
Charles Bukowski
The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
the grace is being able to like rock music, symphony music, jazz … anything that contains the original energy of joy.
Charles Bukowski
