Death is nothing, brother, it's life that's hard
Charles Bukowski
all that I know is that I believe in the sound of music and the running of a horse. all else is squabble.
Charles Bukowski
Most of the world was mad. And the part that wasn't mad was angry. And the part that wasn't mad or angry was just stupid. I had no chance. I had no choice. Just hang on and wait for the end. It was hard work. It was the hardest work imaginable.
Charles Bukowski
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
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!

My flesh looked like it wasn't trying. It looked like it hated being part of me.
Charles Bukowski
The human heart, as of course we all know is essentially good
Charles Bukowski
I sit here drunk now. I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here without committing murder or being murdered without having ended up in the madhouse. as I drink alone again tonight my soul despite all the past agony thanks all the gods who were not there for me then.
Charles Bukowski
In a capitalistic society the losers slaved for the winners and you have to have more losers than winners.
Charles Bukowski
