Charles Bukowski quotes about
women boys high-heels
you boys can keep your virgins give me hot old women in high heels with asses that forgot to get old.
men envy hell
Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
humanity
Humanity, you never had it to begin with.
hell things-to-do ifs
The wisest thing to do if you’re living in hell is to make yourself comfortable.
sleep cat waiting
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
sick people needs
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
men causes made
I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content.
gun sick intellectual
LSD, yeah, the big parade – everybody's doin' it now. Take LSD, then you are a poet, an intellectual. What a sick mob. I am building a machine gun in my closet now to take out as many of them as I can before they get me.
I hope that death contains less than this.
jobs profession full-time-jobs
A woman is a full time job. You have to choose your profession.
love-is firsts
love be damned now as love was damned when it first arrived.
play often-is giving
When you play the field selfishly everything works against you: one can’t insist on love or demand affection. you’re finally left with whatever you have been willing to give which often is: nothing.
beautiful fighting pouring
Lighting new cigarettes, pouring more drinks. It has been a beautiful fight. Still is.
travel thinking trouble
I don't think I'll travel anymore. Travel is nothing but an inconvenience. There is always enough trouble where you are.
