More quotes by Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
Charles Bukowski
I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love, and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me.
Charles Bukowski
it's good to have things done with when they don't work it's also good not to hate or even forget the person you've failed with.
Charles Bukowski
we sat there smoking cigarettes at 5 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds.
Charles Bukowski
there's no clarity. there was never meant to be clarity.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
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
I don't know about other people, but when I wake up in the morning and put my shoes on, I think, Jesus Christ, now what?
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.
Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
Charles Bukowski
He had long nostril hairs, powerfully intimidating, like an unscheduled nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
It’s when you hide things that you choke on them.
Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
You were destroyed by what you befriended.
Charles Bukowski
There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
Charles Bukowski
