Charles Bukowski
this time has finished me.
Charles Bukowski
I went over to see Marina two or three or four times a week. I knew as long as I could see the girl I would be all right…. Soon after, I got a letter from Fay. She and the child were living in a hippie commune in New Mexico. It was a nice place, she said. Marina would be able to breathe there. She enclosed a little drawing the girl had made for me.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!
Charles Bukowski
When a hot woman meets a hermit one of them is going to change.
Charles Bukowski
we had such tremendous fun and much agony together for some years
Charles Bukowski
Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
Charles Bukowski
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
