Charles Bukowski
...having nothing to struggle against they have nothing to struggle for.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
there are policemen in the street and angels in the clouds
Charles Bukowski
I was fairly poor but most of my money went for wine and classical music. I loved to mix the two together.
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
Charles Bukowski
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.
Charles Bukowski
Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.
Charles Bukowski
the masses are everywhere they know how to do things: they have sane and deadly angers for sane and deadly things.
Charles Bukowski
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.
Charles Bukowski
They, all of them, seemed to put literary form in front of the actuality and living of life itself.
Charles Bukowski
I don’t understand people, never will. It looks like I got to travel pretty much alone.
Charles Bukowski
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Charles Bukowski
To create art means to be crazy alone forever.
Charles Bukowski
my greatest problem was stamps, envelopes, paper and wine, with the world on the edge of World War II.
Charles Bukowski
