Charles Bukowski quotes about
writing thinking people
Bad poetry is caused by people who sit down and think, Now I am going to write a Poem.
care found tigers
the tigers have found me and I do not care.
two too-much littles
There are only two things wrong with money: too much or too little.
lonely loneliness suicidal
I've never been lonely. I've been in a room... I've felt suicidal, I've been depressed. I've felt awful ... awful beyond all , but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude...
inspirational knobs needed
The less I needed, the better I felt.
sex singing kicking
Sexual intercourse is kicking death in the ass while singing.
people lucky ugly
Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.
becoming hated
Are you becoming what you've always hated?
sometimes
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
people moral ability
People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.
heart space waiting
there is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space.
hate giving people
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
mean interesting people
People were interesting at first. Then later, slowly but surely, all the flaws and madness would manifest themselves. I would become less and less to them; they would mean less and less to me.
dog believe men
Dog is much admired by Man because he believes in the hand which feeds him. A perfect set-up. For 13 cents a day you've got a hired killer who thinks you are god. A dog can't tell a Nazi from a Republican from a Commie from a Democrat and, many times, neither can I.
