More quotes by Charles Bukowski
An early taste of death is not necessarily a bad thing.
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
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds.
Charles Bukowski
But my whole life has been a matter of fighting for one simple hour to do what I want to do. There was always something getting in the way of my getting to myself.
Charles Bukowski
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
Charles Bukowski
the best often die by their own hand just to get away, and those left behind can never quite understand why anybody would ever want to get away from them
Charles Bukowski
People just weren't interesting. Maybe they weren't supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn't understand it.
Charles Bukowski
love be damned now as love was damned when it first arrived.
Charles Bukowski
The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left.
Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?
Charles Bukowski
I give you soul. I give you wisdom and light and music and a bit of laughter. Also, I am the world's greatest horseplayer.
Charles Bukowski
The world is full of boring, identical and mindless people.
Charles Bukowski
purple does something strange to me
Charles Bukowski
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski
