More quotes by Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
Charles Bukowski
I was laying in bed one night and I thought 'I'll just quit - to hell with it.' And another little voice inside me said 'Don't quit - save that tiny little ember of spark.' And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.
Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.
Charles Bukowski
All a guy needed was a chance. Somebody was alway controlling who got a chance and who didn't.
