Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
Charles Bukowski
Only the boring get bored
Charles Bukowski
Those who preach god, need god Those who preach peace do not have peace Those who preach love do not have love
Charles Bukowski
A day of minor profit or prophet led to a night of drunkenness.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
I walked around the block twice, passed 200 people and failed to see a human being.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
I've learned to feel good when I feel good. it's better to be driven around in a red porsche than to own one. the luck of the fool is inviolate.
Charles Bukowski
