Charles Bukowski quotes about
humanity tickets cash
If I bet on humanity, I'd never cash a ticket.
children hate love-you
dont undress my love you might find a mannequin dont undress the mannequin you might find love. shes long ago forgotten me. hes trying on a new hat and looks more the coquette then ever. she is a child and a mannequin and death. i can't hate that. she didnt do anything unusual. I only wanted her to.
easy ifs
It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.
evening natural given
Each person is only given so many evenings and each wasted evening is a gross violation against the natural course of your only life.
hurt want
I pretend to understand because I don't want anybody to be hurt
sex mean men
Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement.
school play benches
I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.
morning
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
taught dies
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.
marriage single wedding
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
mistake seems
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
dirty men world
I am not a man who looks for solutions in God or politics. If somebody else wants to do the dirty work and create a better world for us and he can do it, I will accept it.
people world boring
The world is full of boring, identical and mindless people.
ordinary-world soul understand-me
I have no time for things that have no soul.
