Charles Bukowski

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
The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.
