Love is all right for those who can handle the psychic overload. It's like trying to carry a full garbage can on your back over a rushing river of piss.

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
hate contains truth. beauty is a facade.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
Charles Bukowski
Don’t do it. Don’t love me.
Charles Bukowski
and then there are some who believe that old relationships can be revived and made new again. but please if you feel that way don't phone don't write don't arrive
Charles Bukowski
It was like any other relationship, there was jealousy on both sides, there were split-ups and reconciliations. There were also fragmented moments of great peace and beauty. I often tried to get away from her and she tried to get away from me but it was difficult: Cupid, in his strange way, was really there.
Charles Bukowski
The years have gone by quickly. Death sits in the seat next to me. We make a lovely couple.
Charles Bukowski
I went over to see Marina two or three or four times a week. I knew as long as I could see the girl I would be all right…. Soon after, I got a letter from Fay. She and the child were living in a hippie commune in New Mexico. It was a nice place, she said. Marina would be able to breathe there. She enclosed a little drawing the girl had made for me.
Charles Bukowski
My ambition is handicapped by laziness
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Charles Bukowski
a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )
Charles Bukowski
I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski
That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.
Charles Bukowski
Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer.
Charles Bukowski
It’s not so much that nothing means anything but more that it keeps meaning nothing. there’s no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say. even the best books are dry sawdust.
Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
Charles Bukowski
I met a genius on the train today about 6 years old, he sat beside me and as the train ran down along the coast we came to the ocean and then he looked at me and said, it’s not pretty.
Charles Bukowski
Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.
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
Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.
Charles Bukowski
I'm very clever at hiding poems perhaps more clever than I am at writing them.
Charles Bukowski
