It’s when you hide things that you choke on them.

If there are junk yards in hell, love is the dog that guards the gates.
Charles Bukowski

The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski

Sometimes there's luck, When there is you stock up on it and wait for the other times
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.

But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally.

…He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.
Charles Bukowski

The human heart, as of course we all know is essentially good
Charles Bukowski

There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
Charles Bukowski

I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.
Charles Bukowski

nothing's news. it's the same old thing in disguise. only one thing comes without a disguise and you only see it once, or maybe never. like getting hit by a freight train. makes us realize that all our moaning about long lost girls in gingham dresses is not so important after 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

it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
