More quotes by Charles Bukowski
It’s hard to drink when you dance. And it’s hard to dance when you drink.
Charles Bukowski
I had decided against religion a couple of years back. If it were true, it made fools out of people, or it drew fools. And if it weren't true, the fools were all the more foolish. What I need is a good doctor, I thought. You either lived or died.
Charles Bukowski
The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.
Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
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
there are worse things than being alone but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do it's too late and there's nothing worse than too late
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Charles Bukowski
My flesh looked like it wasn't trying. It looked like it hated being part of me.
Charles Bukowski
Don't ever write a novel unless it hurts like a hot turd coming out.
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
I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. all the things I had learned had been wasted. there was no creature living as foul as I and all my poems were false.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I feel as if we are all trapped in a movie. We know our lines, where to walk, how to act, only there is no camera. Yet, we can't break out of the movie. And it's a bad one.
Charles Bukowski
I tell you such fine music waits in the shadows of hell.
Charles Bukowski
Are you becoming what you've always hated?
Charles Bukowski
one more creature dizzy with love
Charles Bukowski
the grace is being able to like rock music, symphony music, jazz … anything that contains the original energy of joy.
Charles Bukowski
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski
Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
places to hunt places to hide are getting harder to find, and pet canaries and goldfish too, did you notice that?
Charles Bukowski
The wisest thing to do if you’re living in hell is to make yourself comfortable.
Charles Bukowski
