Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
If I never see you again I will always carry you inside outside on my fingertips and at brain edges and in centers centers of what I am of what remains.
Charles Bukowski
Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.
Charles Bukowski
The human heart, as of course we all know is essentially good
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
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
magic persists without us no matter what we may do to try to spoil it
Charles Bukowski
I had no feeling for the things so many others needed.
