More quotes by Charles Bukowski
People do too much. They say too much.
Charles Bukowski
I wanted the whole world or nothing.
Charles Bukowski
It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you.
Charles Bukowski
hate contains truth. beauty is a facade.
Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
Charles Bukowski
He had long nostril hairs, powerfully intimidating, like an unscheduled nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
The years have gone by quickly. Death sits in the seat next to me. We make a lovely couple.

Charles Bukowski
... to die on a kitchen floor at 7 o'clock in the morning while other people are frying eggs is not so rough unless it happens to you.
Charles Bukowski
I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn't have a god, politics, ideas, ideals.
Charles Bukowski
take a writer away from his typewriter and all you have left is the sickness which started him typing in the beginning
Charles Bukowski
and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical sense and are not easy to fool with laughter
Charles Bukowski
It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.
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
she knew what she wanted and it wasn't / me. / I know more women like that than any / other kind.
Charles Bukowski
dogs and angels are not very far apart
