I have no definite talent or ...

I have no definite talent or trade, and how I stay alive is largely a matter of magic.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

To not to have entirely waste...

To not to have entirely wasted one's life seems to be a worthy accomplishment, if only for myself.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

Some people never go crazy, W...

Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

If you're losing your soul an...

If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

Censorship is the tool of tho...

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

Even though I write about the...

Even though I write about the human race, the further away from them, the better I feel. Two miles is great; two thousand miles is beautiful.

Never get out of bed before noon.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls, but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

If I write badly about blacks...

If I write badly about blacks, homosexuals and women, it is because of these who I met were that. There are many 'bads' - bad dogs, bad censorship; there are even 'bad' white males. Only, when you write about 'bad' white males, they don't complain about it. And need I say that there are 'good' blacks, 'good' homosexuals and 'good' women?

We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar.

I don't write so much now. I'm getting on 33, pot belly and creeping dementia.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

I do not like the human race....

I do not like the human race. I don't like their heads, I don't like their faces, I don't like their feet, I don't like their conversations, I don't like their hairdos, I don't like their automobiles.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

You begin saving the world by...

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

I am a dangerous man when turned loose with a typewriter.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

When I worked on a magazine, ...

When I worked on a magazine, I learned that there are many, many writers writing that can't write at all; and they keep on writing all the cliches and bromides and 1890 plots, and poems about Spring and poems about Love, and poems they think are modern because they are done in slang or staccato style, or written with all the 'i's' small.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

What my character is or how m...

What my character is or how many jails I have lounged in, or wards or walls or wassails, how many lonely-heart poetry readings I have dodged, is beside the point. A man's soul or lack of it will be evident with what he can carve upon a white sheet of paper.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

Having a bunch of cats around...

Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you're feeling bad, you just look at the cats, you'll feel better because they know that everything is just as it is. There's nothing to get excited about. They just know. They're saviours.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

We're all going to die, all o...

We're all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.
