More quotes by Charles Bukowski
we drove on and on, past little villages and both good things and bad things were happening to the people in those villages too, but I still was nothing but arms and ears and eyes and maybe there'd be either some good luck for me or more death tomorrow.
Charles Bukowski
Pretty words, as pretty women, wrinkle up and die.
Charles Bukowski
Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!
Charles Bukowski
But my whole life has been a matter of fighting for one simple hour to do what I want to do. There was always something getting in the way of my getting to myself.
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
I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.
Charles Bukowski
Each man's hell is in a different place: mine is just up and behind my ruined face.
Charles Bukowski
great writers are indecent people they live unfairly saving the best part for paper. good human beings save the world so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal. if you read this after I am dead it means I made it.
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
Charles Bukowski
I had no Freedom. I had nothing.
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski
People who believe in politics are like people who believe in God: they are sucking wind through bent straws.
Charles Bukowski
People were interesting at first. Then later, slowly but surely, all the flaws and madness would manifest themselves. I would become less and less to them they would mean less and less to me.
Charles Bukowski
I call 'em complaining machines. Things are never right with a guy to them. And man, when you throw that hysteria in there ... forget it. I gotta get out, get in the car, and go. Anywhere. Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
Charles Bukowski
What? You’d dare drink right after getting out of jail for intoxication?” That’s when you need a drink the most.
Charles Bukowski
Banion wondered which was worse - being sodomized by aliens, or having to sit through two hours of Charles Ives.
Charles Bukowski
I've learned to feel good when I feel good. it's better to be driven around in a red porsche than to own one. the luck of the fool is inviolate.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
