Charles Bukowski Quotes

The more cats you have, the longer you live. If you have a hundred cats, you’ll live ten times longer than if you have ten. Someday this will be discovered, and people will have a thousand cats and live forever Picture Quote #1

The masses are always wrong... Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they’re looking for Picture Quote #1

The courage it took to get out of bed each morning to face the same things over and over was enormous Picture Quote #1

They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work Picture Quote #1

... maybe a damned good night’s sleep will bring me back to a gentle sanity. But at the moment, I look about this room and, like myself, it’s all in disarray: things fallen out of place, cluttered, jumbled, lost, knocked over and I can’t put it straight, don’t want to. Perhaps living through these petty days will get us ready for the dangerous ones Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics Picture Quote #1

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics Picture Quote #1

You boys can keep your virgins give me hot old women in high heels with asses that forgot to get old Picture Quote #1

And getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it, in fact, solves all of it Picture Quote #1

They laughed. Things were funny. They weren’t afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things Picture Quote #1

The park grass looked greener, the park benches looked better and the flowers were trying harder Picture Quote #1

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The best thing about the bedroom was the bed. I liked to stay in bed for hours, even during the day with covers pulled up to my chin. It was good in there, nothing ever occurred in there, no people, nothing Picture Quote #1

I could never accept life as it was, I could never gobble down all its poisons bu there were parts, tenuous magic parts open for the asking Picture Quote #1

You can forgive a fool because he only runs in one direction and doesn’t deceive anybody. It’s the deceivers who make you feel bad Picture Quote #1

I was glad I wasn’t in love, that I wasn’t happy with the world. I like being at odds with everything. People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective. They lose their sense of humor. They become nervous, psychotic bores. They even become killers Picture Quote #1
