More quotes by Charles Bukowski
My flesh looked like it wasn't trying. It looked like it hated being part of me.
Charles Bukowski
Dying in a a war never stopped wars from happening.
Charles Bukowski
Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe if you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become so obvious yourself.
Charles Bukowski
I take much pleasure in being alone but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.
Charles Bukowski
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
Charles Bukowski
It was hard for me to believe. When recess was over I sat in class and thought about it. My mother had a hole and my father had a dong that shot juice. How could they have things like that and walk around as if everything was normal, and talk about things, and then do it and not tell anybody?
Charles Bukowski
When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.
Charles Bukowski
Only the boring get bored
Charles Bukowski
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
Gradually I came to realize that my understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasure is concerned.
Charles Bukowski
An early taste of death is not necessarily a bad thing.
Charles Bukowski
Careful poetry and careful people live only long enough to die safely.
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.
Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
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
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Charles Bukowski
That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
Charles Bukowski
nobody ever finds the one
Charles Bukowski
we had such tremendous fun and much agony together for some years
