More quotes by Charles Bukowski
we know God is dead, they've told us, but listening to you I wasn't sure.
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever
Charles Bukowski
A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.
Charles Bukowski
i was born to hustle roses down the avenue of the dead.
Charles Bukowski
Modern women ... they don't sew your pockets ... forget that.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it's enough.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Keep your money in your pocket. Or bet it on a good horse.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I don’t understand people, never will. It looks like I got to travel pretty much alone.
Charles Bukowski
Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.
Charles Bukowski
it's good to have things done with when they don't work it's also good not to hate or even forget the person you've failed with.
Charles Bukowski
I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.
Charles Bukowski
I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend.
Charles Bukowski
Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
The Artist, an ancient sage had once said, is always sitting on the doorsteps of the rich.
Charles Bukowski
The crazy ones only laugh when there is no reason to laugh.
Charles Bukowski
some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.
Charles Bukowski
