More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.
Charles Bukowski
Alcohol is probably one of the greatest things to arrive upon the earth - alongside of me.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.
Charles Bukowski
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski
Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer.
Charles Bukowski
People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren´t whores, just mine.
Charles Bukowski
A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.
Charles Bukowski
I've never met another man I'd rather be.
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
all that I know is that I believe in the sound of music and the running of a horse. all else is squabble.
Charles Bukowski
the sea is made of blood
Charles Bukowski
It didn't pay to trust another human being. Humans didn't have it, whatever it took.
Charles Bukowski
I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.
Charles Bukowski
