Charles Bukowski
I had no Freedom. I had nothing.
Charles Bukowski
you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided

Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds.
Charles Bukowski
Banion wondered which was worse - being sodomized by aliens, or having to sit through two hours of Charles Ives.
Charles Bukowski
I write as a function. Without it I would fall ill and die. It's as much a part of one as the liver or intestine, and just about as glamorous.
Charles Bukowski
I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.
Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
Charles Bukowski
Fay had a spot of blood on the left side of her mouth and I took a wet cloth and wiped it off. Women were meant to suffer no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love.
Charles Bukowski
