Charles Bukowski
my mother, poor fish, wanting to be happy, beaten two or three times a week, telling me to be happy: Henry, smile! why don't you ever smile? and then she would smile, to show me how, and it was the saddest smile I ever saw
Charles Bukowski
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
Charles Bukowski
I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.
