Charles Bukowski
I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.
Charles Bukowski
and getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it, in fact, solves all of it
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.
Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
Baby, I said. I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.
Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
I'll use the knives for spreading jam, and the gas to warm my greying love.
Charles Bukowski
My ambition is handicapped by laziness
Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
the people are the biggest horror show on earth, have been for centuries.
Charles Bukowski
