More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely.
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
Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.
Charles Bukowski
The wisest thing to do if you’re living in hell is to make yourself comfortable.
Charles Bukowski
That's how it is with books, isn't it: They're not in a hurry. They'll wait for you till you're ready. People empty me. I have to go away to refill.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from failing.
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 understand people, never will. It looks like I got to travel pretty much alone.
Charles Bukowski
and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.
Charles Bukowski
The secret is writing down one simple line after another.
Charles Bukowski
Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.
Charles Bukowski
The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it
Charles Bukowski
I can almost understand why people leap from bridges.
Charles Bukowski
I hope that death contains less than this.
Charles Bukowski
