I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I had no feeling for the things so many others needed.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski
I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.
Charles Bukowski
Love dries up, I thought as I walked back to the bathroom, even faster than sperm.
Charles Bukowski
That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.
Charles Bukowski
It was hard for me to believe. When recess was over I sat in class and thought about it. My mother had a hole and my father had a dong that shot juice. How could they have things like that and walk around as if everything was normal, and talk about things, and then do it and not tell anybody?
Charles Bukowski
Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.
Charles Bukowski
dogs and angels are not very far apart
Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
Charles Bukowski
a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )
Charles Bukowski
magic persists without us no matter what we may do to try to spoil it
Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
Careful poetry and careful people live only long enough to die safely.
Charles Bukowski
But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally. But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.
Charles Bukowski
If you let them kill you, they will
Charles Bukowski
