Charles Bukowski
Our disappointment sits between us.
Charles Bukowski
It’s not so much that nothing means anything but more that it keeps meaning nothing. there’s no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say. even the best books are dry sawdust.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.
Charles Bukowski
Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.
Charles Bukowski
Baby, I said. I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
It didn't pay to trust another human being. Humans didn't have it, whatever it took.
Charles Bukowski
my greatest problem was stamps, envelopes, paper and wine, with the world on the edge of World War II.
Charles Bukowski
You just rebel against everything. How are you going to survive? I don't know. I'm already tired.
