More quotes by Charles Bukowski

Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
I sit here drunk now. I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here without committing murder or being murdered without having ended up in the madhouse. as I drink alone again tonight my soul despite all the past agony thanks all the gods who were not there for me then.
Charles Bukowski
Of course, there would always be arguments. That is the nature of Woman. They like the mutual exchange of dirty laundry, a bit of screaming, a bit of dramatics. Then an exchange of vows.
Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
I've never met another man I'd rather be.
Charles Bukowski
