God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
Gradually I came to realize that my understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasure is concerned.
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
I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski
When a writer is swayed with his fame and his fortune, you can float him down the river with the turds.
Charles Bukowski
Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer.
Charles Bukowski
I call 'em complaining machines. Things are never right with a guy to them. And man, when you throw that hysteria in there ... forget it. I gotta get out, get in the car, and go. Anywhere. Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
Charles Bukowski
It was like a church in there as only the truly lost sit in bars on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
Charles Bukowski
It’s hard to drink when you dance. And it’s hard to dance when you drink.
Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
too often, the only escape is sleep
Charles Bukowski
I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.
Charles Bukowski
With me, my main vision for life was to avoid as many people as possible. The less people I saw the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
if you get married they think you're finished and if you are without a woman they think you're incomplete.
Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
Food is good for the nerves and the spirit. Courage comes from the belly – all else is desperation.
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
Charles Bukowski
Only the boring get bored
Charles Bukowski
