I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
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
Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it's enough.
Charles Bukowski
it's good to have things done with when they don't work it's also good not to hate or even forget the person you've failed with.
Charles Bukowski

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
Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
Charles Bukowski
Anybody can be a non-drunk. It takes a special talent to be a drunk. It takes endurance. Endurance is more important than truth.
Charles Bukowski
It didn't pay to trust another human being. Humans didn't have it, whatever it took.
Charles Bukowski
the masses are everywhere they know how to do things: they have sane and deadly angers for sane and deadly things.
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
I call 'em complaining machines. Things are never right with a guy to them. And man, when you throw that hysteria in there ... forget it. I gotta get out, get in the car, and go. Anywhere. Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
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
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
