More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Never trust a man in a jumpsuit
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.
Charles Bukowski
I tell you such fine music waits in the shadows of hell.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
In New York you've got to have all the luck.
Charles Bukowski
Before you kill something make sure you have something better to replace it with.
Charles Bukowski
It’s hard to drink when you dance. And it’s hard to dance when you drink.
Charles Bukowski
In a capitalistic society the losers slaved for the winners and you have to have more losers than winners.
Charles Bukowski
I don't think I'll travel anymore. Travel is nothing but an inconvenience. There is always enough trouble where you are.
Charles Bukowski
... to die on a kitchen floor at 7 o'clock in the morning while other people are frying eggs is not so rough unless it happens to you.
Charles Bukowski
Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.
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
they simply never understand, do they, that sometimes solitude is one of the most beautiful things on earth?
Charles Bukowski
