WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR TYPEWRITER YOU LEAVE YOUR MACHINE GUN AND THE RATS COME POURING THROUGH.
Charles Bukowski
the beautiful are found in the edge of a room crumpled into spiders and needles and silence and we can never understand why they left,they were so beautiful. they dont make it, the beautiful die young and leave the ugly to their ugly lives.
Charles Bukowski
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
Charles Bukowski
Dying in a a war never stopped wars from happening.
Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
the last cigarettes are smoked, the loaves are sliced, and lest this be taken for wry sorrow, drown the spider in wine. you are much more than simply dead: I am a dish for your ashes, I am a fist for your vanished air. the most terrible thing about life is finding it gone.
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 would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
All a guy needed was a chance. Somebody was alway controlling who got a chance and who didn't.
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
the tigers have found me and I do not care.
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I feel as if we are all trapped in a movie. We know our lines, where to walk, how to act, only there is no camera. Yet, we can't break out of the movie. And it's a bad one.
Charles Bukowski
I can't blame her. but wonder why she's here with me? where are the other guys? how can you be lucky? having someone the others have abandoned?
Charles Bukowski
When you clean up a city, you destroy it.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.
Charles Bukowski
