Some random quotes from the wonderful Charles Bukowski

If I never see you again
I will always carry you
inside
outside
on my fingertips
and at brain edges
and in centers
centers
of what I am of
what remains.



“you boys can keep your virgins
give me hot old women in high heels
with asses that forgot to get old.”


“I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.”


“my beerdrunk soul is sadder than all the dead christmas trees of the world.”


“I stopped looking for a Dream Girl, I just wanted one that wasn't a nightmare.”


“Life's as kind as you let it be.”


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

“Things get bad for all of us, almost continually, and what we do under the constant stress reveals who/what we are.”
What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“Love is all right for those who can handle the psychic overload. It's like trying to carry a full garbage can on your back over a rushing river of piss.

“It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.”


“I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken -- but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.”
