More quotes by Charles Bukowski
You were destroyed by what you befriended.
Charles Bukowski
Never trust a man in a jumpsuit
Charles Bukowski
People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.
Charles Bukowski
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there.
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.
Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Charles Bukowski
nothing's news. it's the same old thing in disguise. only one thing comes without a disguise and you only see it once, or maybe never. like getting hit by a freight train. makes us realize that all our moaning about long lost girls in gingham dresses is not so important after all.
Charles Bukowski
Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!
Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
Charles Bukowski
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
Charles Bukowski
To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you you're frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky if not, green grass.
Charles Bukowski
Banion wondered which was worse - being sodomized by aliens, or having to sit through two hours of Charles Ives.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.
Charles Bukowski
How are his poems? He's not as good as he thinks he is, but then most of us feel that way.
Charles Bukowski
