Charles Bukowski
They, all of them, seemed to put literary form in front of the actuality and living of life itself.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I walk into the kitchen, look at the typer down there on the floor. It's a dirty floor. It's a dirty typer that types dirty stories
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
That’s when I first learned that it wasn’t enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
one more creature dizzy with love
Charles Bukowski
If I never see you again I will always carry you inside outside on my fingertips and at brain edges and in centers centers of what I am of what remains.
Charles Bukowski
