Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
Charles Bukowski
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
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
In New York you've got to have all the luck.
Charles Bukowski
The secret is writing down one simple line after another.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.
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
there is always one woman to save you from another and as that woman saves you she makes ready to destroy
Charles Bukowski
Where some god pissed a rain of reason to make things grow only to die.
Charles Bukowski
I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.
Charles Bukowski
The Difference Between Art and Life is that Art is More Bearable
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
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
Charles Bukowski
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski
and love was lightning and remembrance
Charles Bukowski
they simply never understand, do they, that sometimes solitude is one of the most beautiful things on earth?
Charles Bukowski
... to die on a kitchen floor at 7 o'clock in the morning while other people are frying eggs is not so rough unless it happens to you.
Charles Bukowski
I was a man who thrived on solitude without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
there's no clarity. there was never meant to be clarity.
Charles Bukowski
