More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever
Charles Bukowski
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Beware of those who seek constant crowds they are nothing alone.
Charles Bukowski
Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
morning night and noon the traffic moves through and the murder and treachery of friends and lovers and all the people move through you. pain is the joy of knowing the unkindest truth that arrives without warning. life is being alone death is being alone. even the fools weep morning night and noon.
Charles Bukowski
and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical sense and are not easy to fool with laughter
Charles Bukowski
How are his poems? He's not as good as he thinks he is, but then most of us feel that way.
Charles Bukowski
I have loved you woman as surely as I have named you rust and sand and nylon.
Charles Bukowski
Well, the rain had stopped but the pain was still there.
Charles Bukowski
and love is a word used too much and much too soon.
Charles Bukowski
