The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.
Charles Bukowski
The world is full of boring, identical and mindless people.
Charles Bukowski
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid
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.
Charles Bukowski
she knew what she wanted and it wasn't / me. / I know more women like that than any / other kind.
Charles Bukowski
we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.
Charles Bukowski
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
I don't like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there.
Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
Charles Bukowski
… and we are in bed together laughing and we don’t care about anything.
Charles Bukowski
Where some god pissed a rain of reason to make things grow only to die.
Charles Bukowski
we had such tremendous fun and much agony together for some years
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
Charles Bukowski
You were destroyed by what you befriended.
Charles Bukowski
I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
People do too much. They say too much.
Charles Bukowski
