More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard.
Charles Bukowski
Of course, there would always be arguments. That is the nature of Woman. They like the mutual exchange of dirty laundry, a bit of screaming, a bit of dramatics. Then an exchange of vows.
Charles Bukowski
People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.
Charles Bukowski
what matters most is how well you walk through the fire
Charles Bukowski
we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.
Charles Bukowski
In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky if not, green grass.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
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
I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. all the things I had learned had been wasted. there was no creature living as foul as I and all my poems were false.
Charles Bukowski
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
Charles Bukowski
Once a woman turns against you, forget it. They can love you, then something turns in them. They can watch you dying in a gutter, run over by a car, and they'll spit on you.
Charles Bukowski
Death is nothing, brother, it's life that's hard
Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
To create art means to be crazy alone forever.
Charles Bukowski
My ambition is handicapped by laziness
Charles Bukowski
If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.
Charles Bukowski
The streets were full of insane & dull people. Most of them lived in nice houses and didn't seem to work, and you wondered how they did it.
Charles Bukowski
