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
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Charles Bukowski
Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.
Charles Bukowski
I think that the world should be full of cats and full of rain, that's all, just cats and rain, rain and cats, very nice, good night.
Charles Bukowski
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start.
Charles Bukowski
I've never met another man I'd rather be.
Charles Bukowski
there is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space.
Charles Bukowski
I have loved you woman as surely as I have named you rust and sand and nylon.
Charles Bukowski
