Sundays kill more people than bombs.

And there I was, 225 pounds, perpetually lost and confused, short legs, ape-like upper body, all chest, no neck, head too large, blurred eyes, hair uncombed, 6 feet of geek, waiting for her.
Charles Bukowski

As we go on with our lives we tend to forget that the jails and the hospitals and the madhouses and the graveyards are packed.
Charles Bukowski

The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.

What a feast!

If I stop writing I am dead. And that's the only way I'll stop: dead.
Charles Bukowski

hate contains truth. beauty is a facade.
Charles Bukowski

If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Charles Bukowski
Image
People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.
Charles Bukowski

the tigers have found me and I do not care.
Charles Bukowski

Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
Image
We are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
Image
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
Charles Bukowski
Image
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.

What's genius? I don't know but I do know that the difference between a madman and a professional is that a pro does as well as he can within what he has set out to do and a madman does exceptionally well at what he can't help doing.
