Charles Bukowski
I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
Never get out of bed before noon.
Charles Bukowski
Style means no shield at all. Style means no front at all. Style means ultimate naturalness. Style means one man alone with billions of men about.
Charles Bukowski
… and we are in bed together laughing and we don’t care about anything.
Charles Bukowski
mercy, I think, doesn't the human race know anything about mercy?
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
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR TYPEWRITER YOU LEAVE YOUR MACHINE GUN AND THE RATS COME POURING THROUGH.
