Death meant little to me. It w...

Death meant little to me. It was the last joke in a series of bad jokes.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

I couldn't get myself to read ...

I couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

And it seems people should not...

And it seems people should not build houses anymore it seems people should stop working and sit in small rooms on second floors under electric lights without shades; it seems there is a lot to forget and a lot not to do and in drugstores, markets, bars, the people are tired, they do not want to move, and I stand there at night and look through this house and the house does not want to be built

Life's as kind as you let it be.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

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

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.

Great art is horseshit, buy tacos.

When you clean up a city, you destroy it.

Pain is strange. A cat killing...

Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.

there is moss on the walls and the stain of thought and failure and waiting

I remember when each 4th lot was vacant and overgrown, and the landlord only go this rent when you had it, and each day was clear and good and each moment was full of promise.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

to fight for each minute is to fight for what is possible within yourself, so that your life and your death will not be like theirs.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

I suppose like others I have come through fire and sword, love gone wrong, head-on crashes, drunk at sea, and I have listened to the simple sound of water running in tubs and wished to drown

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

the psyche has been burned and...

the psyche has been burned and left us senseless, the world has been darker than lights-out in a closet full of hungry bats, and the whiskey and wine entered our veins when blood was too weak to carry on

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

I once lay in a white hospital...

I once lay in a white hospital for the dying and the dying self, where some god pissed a rain of reason to make things grow only to die, where on my knees I prayed for LIGHT, I prayed for l*i*g*h*t, and praying crawled like a blind slug into the web where threads of wind stuck against my mind and I died of pity for Man, for myself, on a cross without nails, watching in fear as the pig belches in his sty, farts, blinks and eats.

whiskey makes the heart beat faster but it sure doesn't help the mind and isn't it funny how you can ache just from the deadly drone of existence?

Charles Bukowski 831 quotes

...in that drunken place you would like to hand your heart to her and say touch it but then give it back.
