It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing unusual about love.
Charles Bukowski
I had decided against religion a couple of years back. If it were true, it made fools out of people, or it drew fools. And if it weren't true, the fools were all the more foolish. What I need is a good doctor, I thought. You either lived or died.
Charles Bukowski
I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.
Charles Bukowski
Most of the world was mad. And the part that wasn't mad was angry. And the part that wasn't mad or angry was just stupid. I had no chance. I had no choice. Just hang on and wait for the end. It was hard work. It was the hardest work imaginable.
Charles Bukowski
Style means no shield at all. Style means no front at all. Style means ultimate naturalness. Style means one man alone with billions of men about.
Charles Bukowski
This incompleteness is all we have.
Charles Bukowski
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
Charles Bukowski
Don’t do it. Don’t love me.
Charles Bukowski
I knew it would be you
Charles Bukowski
love be damned now as love was damned when it first arrived.
Charles Bukowski
Your writing, she said to me, it's so raw. It's like a sledgehammer, and yet it has humor and tenderness. . . .
Charles Bukowski
Each person is only given so many evenings and each wasted evening is a gross violation against the natural course of your only life.
Charles Bukowski
since some people had told me that I was ugly, I always preferred shade to the sun, darkness to light
Charles Bukowski
I have no time for things that have no soul.
Charles Bukowski
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?
Charles Bukowski
I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.
Charles Bukowski
my mother, poor fish, wanting to be happy, beaten two or three times a week, telling me to be happy: Henry, smile! why don't you ever smile? and then she would smile, to show me how, and it was the saddest smile I ever saw
Charles Bukowski
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow did to you I am old when it is fashionable to be young I cry when it is fashionable to laugh. I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love.
Charles Bukowski
