More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I knew it would be you
Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
There is no hurry. Time means nothing to you.
Charles Bukowski
It was like a church in there as only the truly lost sit in bars on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
Charles Bukowski
More often than not Democratic Law works to the advantage of the few even though the many have voted this, of course, is because the few have told them how to vote.
Charles Bukowski
People just weren't interesting. Maybe they weren't supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn't understand it.
Charles Bukowski
My part of the game is that I must live the best I can.
Charles Bukowski
I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.
Charles Bukowski
It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The pest, in a sense, is a very superior being to us: he knows where to find us and how--usually in the bath or in sexual intercourse or asleep.
Charles Bukowski
I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.
Charles Bukowski
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
Knowledge is knowing as little as possible.
Charles Bukowski
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 is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing as boring as the truth.
Charles Bukowski
That's the way it ends. The thin edge of the wedge.
Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
News travels fast in places where nothing much ever happens.
Charles Bukowski
