Keep your money in your pocket. Or bet it on a good horse.
Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
It was like any other relationship, there was jealousy on both sides, there were split-ups and reconciliations. There were also fragmented moments of great peace and beauty. I often tried to get away from her and she tried to get away from me but it was difficult: Cupid, in his strange way, was really there.
Charles Bukowski
Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
morning night and noon the traffic moves through and the murder and treachery of friends and lovers and all the people move through you. pain is the joy of knowing the unkindest truth that arrives without warning. life is being alone death is being alone. even the fools weep morning night and noon.
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided
Charles Bukowski
The worst thing for a writer is to know another writer, and worse than that, to know a number of other writers. Like flies on the same turd.
Charles Bukowski
I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend.
Charles Bukowski
she knew what she wanted and it wasn't / me. / I know more women like that than any / other kind.
Charles Bukowski
