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
I would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The worst thing for a writer is to know another writer, and worse than that, to know a number of other writers. Like flies on the same turd.
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 can almost understand why people leap from bridges.
Charles Bukowski
great writers are indecent people they live unfairly saving the best part for paper. good human beings save the world so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal. if you read this after I am dead it means I made it.
Charles Bukowski
Bullfighting can be an art Boxing can be an art Loving can be an art Opening a can of sardines can be an art
Charles Bukowski
My part of the game is that I must live the best I can.
Charles Bukowski
