More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I am a poem. There is no way out.
Charles Bukowski
The trouble with these people is that their cities have never been bombed and their mothers have never been told to shut up.
Charles Bukowski
Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.
Charles Bukowski
Before my death I hope to obtain my life.
Charles Bukowski
Something that never happens anywhere at any time.
Charles Bukowski
...in that drunken place you would like to hand your heart to her and say touch it but then give it back.
Charles Bukowski
The nine-to-five is one of the greatest atrocities sprung upon mankind. You give your life to a function that doesn't interest you. This situation so repelled me that I was driven to drink, starvation, and mad females, simply as an alternative.
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.
Charles Bukowski
I was beaten down long ago in some alley in another world.
Charles Bukowski
Bullfighting can be an art Boxing can be an art Loving can be an art Opening a can of sardines can be an art
Charles Bukowski
one more creature dizzy with love
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
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
I knew it would be you
Charles Bukowski
she was consumed by 3 simple things: drink, despair, loneliness and 2 more: youth and beauty
Charles Bukowski
For each Joan of Arc there is a Hitler perched at the other end of the teeter-totter.
Charles Bukowski
Four days alone with nothing. Emerge empowered. The first human face you see will knock you back 50%.
Charles Bukowski
when I was a boy I used to dream of becoming the village idiot. I used to lie in bed and imagine myself the happy idiot able to get food easily ...and easy sympathy, a planned confusion of not too much love or effort. some would claim that I have succeeded.
Charles Bukowski
Well, the rain had stopped but the pain was still there.
Charles Bukowski
The pest, in a sense, is a very superior being to us: he knows where to find us and how--usually in the bath or in sexual intercourse or asleep.
Charles Bukowski
