Charles Bukowski
It’s hard to drink when you dance. And it’s hard to dance when you drink.
Charles Bukowski
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Charles Bukowski
I am too sick to lay down the sidewalks frighten me the whole damned city frightens me, what I will become what I have become frightens me.
Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
