More quotes by 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
It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.
Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
Charles Bukowski
For each Joan of Arc there is a Hitler perched at the other end of the teeter-totter.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I am not like other people. I am burning in hell. The hell of myself.
Charles Bukowski
Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
With me, my main vision for life was to avoid as many people as possible. The less people I saw the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
places to hunt places to hide are getting harder to find, and pet canaries and goldfish too, did you notice that?
Charles Bukowski
I knew I was strong, and maybe like they said, crazy. But I had this feeling inside of me that something real was there.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. I have too many other prejudices.
Charles Bukowski
Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
Charles Bukowski
Four days alone with nothing. Emerge empowered. The first human face you see will knock you back 50%.
Charles Bukowski
I stopped looking for a Dream Girl, I just wanted one that wasn't a nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.
Charles Bukowski
It was too much. The comfortable people made comfortable jokes about weather and things but I sat mostly silent saying a word or so when necessary a word or so trying to hide from them the fact that I was a fool and feeling terrible And I was numb, numb again, numb again again and again, numbness and pain swelling in 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
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
I give you soul. I give you wisdom and light and music and a bit of laughter. Also, I am the world's greatest horseplayer.
Charles Bukowski
I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead men without eyes, men without voices men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas.
Charles Bukowski
