People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski

if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.
Charles Bukowski
Image

Charles Bukowski

That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.
Charles Bukowski
Image
my 6 foot goddess makes me laugh the laughter of the mutilated who still need love... she has saved me from everything that is not here

Are you becoming what you've always hated?

and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.

Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Potential, I said, doesn't mean a thing. You've got to do it. Almost every baby in a crib has more potential than I have.
Charles Bukowski
Image
When you clean up a city, you destroy it.

Let' em learn or let' em die
Charles Bukowski
Image
Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.
Charles Bukowski

It was like a church in there as only the truly lost sit in bars on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m.

Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
