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
What were you going to do tonight? I was going to listen to the songs of Rachmaninoff. Who's that? A dead Russian.
Charles Bukowski
Even the stove and the refrigerator looked human, I mean good human - they seemed to have arms and voices and they said, hang around, kid, it's good here, it can be very good here.
Charles Bukowski
I tell you such fine music waits in the shadows of hell.
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds.
Charles Bukowski
This incompleteness is all we have.
Charles Bukowski
I give you soul. I give you wisdom and light and music and a bit of laughter. Also, I am the world's greatest horseplayer.
Charles Bukowski
