More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken -- but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
writing about a writer's block is better than not writing at all
Charles Bukowski
It didn't pay to trust another human being. Humans didn't have it, whatever it took.
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
well, i don't know about you but I'm going to try everything! War, women, travel, marriage, children, the works. [...]. I want to know about things, what makes them work!
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.
Charles Bukowski
I have two rules. One is, never trust a man who smokes a pipe. The other is, never trust a man with shiny shoes.
Charles Bukowski
It was too much. The comfortable people made comfortable jokes about weather and things but I sat mostly silent saying a word or so when necessary a word or so trying to hide from them the fact that I was a fool and feeling terrible And I was numb, numb again, numb again again and again, numbness and pain swelling in me.
Charles Bukowski
It is possible to be truly mad and to still exist upon scraps of life.
Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
Charles Bukowski

your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.
Charles Bukowski
I just want a hot cup of coffee,black,and I don’t want to hear about your troubles.
Charles Bukowski
and even the trees we walked under seemed less than trees and more like everything else.

Knowledge is knowing as little as possible.
