Keep your money in your pocket. Or bet it on a good horse.
Charles Bukowski
It was only the matter of a new voice. Nobody listened to an old voice anymore. Old voices became a part of one's self, like a fingernail.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski
Never bring a lot of money to where a poor man lives. He can only lose what little he has. On the other hand it is mathematically possible that he might win whatever you bring with you. What you must do, with money and the poor, is never let them get too close to one another.
Charles Bukowski
I never understood society. i undersand that it works somehow and that it functions as a reality and that its realities are necessary to keep us from worse realities. but all i sense are that are plenty of police and jails and judges and laws and that what is meant to protect me is breaking me down.
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
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
I write as a function. Without it I would fall ill and die. It's as much a part of one as the liver or intestine, and just about as glamorous.
Charles Bukowski
My ambition is handicapped by laziness
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
Charles Bukowski
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.
Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
It’s not so much that nothing means anything but more that it keeps meaning nothing. there’s no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say. even the best books are dry sawdust.
Charles Bukowski
I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. all the things I had learned had been wasted. there was no creature living as foul as I and all my poems were false.
Charles Bukowski
I've never met another man I'd rather be.
Charles Bukowski
the people are the biggest horror show on earth, have been for centuries.
Charles Bukowski
take a writer away from his typewriter and all you have left is the sickness which started him typing in the beginning
