Charles Bukowski
What's genius? I don't know but I do know that the difference between a madman and a professional is that a pro does as well as he can within what he has set out to do and a madman does exceptionally well at what he can't help doing.
Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.

Charles Bukowski

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
we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
It’s when you hide things that you choke on them.
Charles Bukowski
I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken -- but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
