Charles Bukowski
You are thirty minutes late. Yes. Would you be thirty minutes late to a wedding or a funeral? No. Why not, pray tell? Well, if the funeral was mine I'd have to be on time. If the wedding was mine it would be my funeral.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Death is nothing, brother, it's life that's hard
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Food is good for the nerves and the spirit. Courage comes from the belly – all else is desperation.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
