More quotes by Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I was laying in bed one night and I thought 'I'll just quit - to hell with it.' And another little voice inside me said 'Don't quit - save that tiny little ember of spark.' And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.
Charles Bukowski
The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
Charles Bukowski
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I don't know about other people, but when I wake up in the morning and put my shoes on, I think, Jesus Christ, now what?
Charles Bukowski
What were you going to do tonight? I was going to listen to the songs of Rachmaninoff. Who's that? A dead Russian.
Charles Bukowski
Death is nothing, brother, it's life that's hard
Charles Bukowski
Well, the rain had stopped but the pain was still there.
Charles Bukowski
Belane, are you nuts? Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who sets the norm?
Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
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
you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided
Charles Bukowski
I was only photographing in words the reality of it all.
Charles Bukowski
the best often die by their own hand just to get away, and those left behind can never quite understand why anybody would ever want to get away from them
Charles Bukowski
Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities.
Charles Bukowski
… and we are in bed together laughing and we don’t care about anything.
Charles Bukowski
