and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.
Charles Bukowski
I never understood society. i undersand that it works somehow and that it functions as a reality and that its realities are necessary to keep us from worse realities. but all i sense are that are plenty of police and jails and judges and laws and that what is meant to protect me is breaking me down.
Charles Bukowski
I'm going, she said. I love you but you're crazy, you're doomed.
Charles Bukowski
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
Charles Bukowski
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
the last cigarettes are smoked, the loaves are sliced, and lest this be taken for wry sorrow, drown the spider in wine. you are much more than simply dead: I am a dish for your ashes, I am a fist for your vanished air. the most terrible thing about life is finding it gone.
Charles Bukowski
Are you becoming what you've always hated?
Charles Bukowski
since some people had told me that I was ugly, I always preferred shade to the sun, darkness to light
Charles Bukowski
When a writer is swayed with his fame and his fortune, you can float him down the river with the turds.
Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
When you clean up a city, you destroy it.
Charles Bukowski
i dunno, i said, but i have an idea that people who don't think too much tend to look younger longer
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
As we go on with our lives we tend to forget that the jails and the hospitals and the madhouses and the graveyards are packed.
Charles Bukowski
