More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I feel no grief for being called something which I am not in fact, it's enthralling, somehow, like a good back rub
Charles Bukowski
from the beginning, through the middle years and up to the end: too bad, too bad, too bad.
Charles Bukowski
Knowledge is knowing as little as possible.
Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love.
Charles Bukowski
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
Charles Bukowski
Belane, are you nuts? Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who sets the norm?
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
Charles Bukowski
my greatest problem was stamps, envelopes, paper and wine, with the world on the edge of World War II.
Charles Bukowski
Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.
Charles Bukowski
…He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.
Charles Bukowski
Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe if you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become so obvious yourself.
Charles Bukowski
I had no Freedom. I had nothing.
Charles Bukowski
To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you you're frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.
Charles Bukowski
I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love, and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me.
Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
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
and love was lightning and remembrance
Charles Bukowski
Most of the world was mad. And the part that wasn't mad was angry. And the part that wasn't mad or angry was just stupid. I had no chance. I had no choice. Just hang on and wait for the end. It was hard work. It was the hardest work imaginable.
Charles Bukowski
