More quotes by Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
Charles Bukowski
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Don't ever write a novel unless it hurts like a hot turd coming out.
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
there are policemen in the street and angels in the clouds
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
There is no hurry. Time means nothing to you.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
Charles Bukowski
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
Charles Bukowski
The writer has no responsibility other than to jack off in bed alone and write a good page.
