More quotes by Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
Let' em learn or let' em die
Charles Bukowski
It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you.
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
I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at the people.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes there's luck, When there is you stock up on it and wait for the other times
Charles Bukowski
I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.
Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
The pest, in a sense, is a very superior being to us: he knows where to find us and how--usually in the bath or in sexual intercourse or asleep.
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
I had no feeling for the things so many others needed.
Charles Bukowski
Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.
Charles Bukowski
The writer has no responsibility other than to jack off in bed alone and write a good page.
Charles Bukowski
Fay had a spot of blood on the left side of her mouth and I took a wet cloth and wiped it off. Women were meant to suffer no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love.
Charles Bukowski
Those who preach god, need god Those who preach peace do not have peace Those who preach love do not have love
Charles Bukowski
God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.
Charles Bukowski
what matters most is how well you walk through the fire
Charles Bukowski
If there are junk yards in hell, love is the dog that guards the gates.
Charles Bukowski
But she projected vitality - you knew that she was there.
Charles Bukowski
