Charles Bukowski
Before you kill something make sure you have something better to replace it with.
Charles Bukowski
purple does something strange to me
Charles Bukowski
It's just that the grape has me down.
Charles Bukowski
It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you.
Charles Bukowski
To create art means to be crazy alone forever.
Charles Bukowski
The writer has no responsibility other than to jack off in bed alone and write a good page.

Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Most of the world was mad. And the part that wasn't mad was angry. And the part that wasn't mad or angry was just stupid. I had no chance. I had no choice. Just hang on and wait for the end. It was hard work. It was the hardest work imaginable.
Charles Bukowski
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
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
That's how it is with books, isn't it: They're not in a hurry. They'll wait for you till you're ready. People empty me. I have to go away to refill.
Charles Bukowski
That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.
Charles Bukowski
I don't know about other people, but when I wake up in the morning and put my shoes on, I think, Jesus Christ, now what?
Charles Bukowski
I'm going, she said. I love you but you're crazy, you're doomed.
Charles Bukowski
being alone never felt right. sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.
Charles Bukowski
The human heart, as of course we all know is essentially good
Charles Bukowski
It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.
Charles Bukowski
