The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left.

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
we had such tremendous fun and much agony together for some years
Charles Bukowski
I don't think I'll travel anymore. Travel is nothing but an inconvenience. There is always enough trouble where you are.
Charles Bukowski
People do too much. They say too much.
Charles Bukowski
Keep your money in your pocket. Or bet it on a good horse.
Charles Bukowski
In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky if not, green grass.
Charles Bukowski
The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
It was hard for me to believe. When recess was over I sat in class and thought about it. My mother had a hole and my father had a dong that shot juice. How could they have things like that and walk around as if everything was normal, and talk about things, and then do it and not tell anybody?
Charles Bukowski
Knowledge is knowing as little as possible.
Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing as boring as the truth.
Charles Bukowski
I am aware that a computer can’t create a poem, but neither can a typewriter.
Charles Bukowski
In a capitalistic society the losers slaved for the winners and you have to have more losers than winners.
Charles Bukowski
Courts are places where the ending is written first and all that precedes is simply vaudeville.
Charles Bukowski
Gradually I came to realize that my understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasure is concerned.
Charles Bukowski
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR TYPEWRITER YOU LEAVE YOUR MACHINE GUN AND THE RATS COME POURING THROUGH.
Charles Bukowski
I think that the world should be full of cats and full of rain, that's all, just cats and rain, rain and cats, very nice, good night.
Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
I am too sick to lay down the sidewalks frighten me the whole damned city frightens me, what I will become what I have become frightens me.
Charles Bukowski
I am for the small man who has not forgotten, for the man who loves his beer and his women and his sunlight
Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
