More quotes by Charles Bukowski
The worst men have the best jobs the best men have the worst jobs or are unemployed or locked in madhouses.
Charles Bukowski
places to hunt places to hide are getting harder to find, and pet canaries and goldfish too, did you notice that?
Charles Bukowski
I have no time for things that have no soul.
Charles Bukowski
Food is good for the nerves and the spirit. Courage comes from the belly – all else is desperation.
Charles Bukowski
I walked around the block twice, passed 200 people and failed to see a human being.
Charles Bukowski
I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Wherever the crowd goes run in the other direction. They're always wrong.
Charles Bukowski
I feel no grief for being called something which I am not in fact, it's enthralling, somehow, like a good back rub
Charles Bukowski
It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.
Charles Bukowski
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.
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 had no feeling for the things so many others needed.
Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
Do some living and get yourself a typewriter.
Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
when I was a boy I used to dream of becoming the village idiot. I used to lie in bed and imagine myself the happy idiot able to get food easily ...and easy sympathy, a planned confusion of not too much love or effort. some would claim that I have succeeded.
Charles Bukowski
