Bukowski Insight

He is one of my favorite poets. I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes with you All.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Find what you love and let it kill you."
― Charles Bukowski

"Some people never go crazy, what horrible lives they must lead."
― Charles Bukowski

"We are here to laugh at the odds, and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."
― Charles Bukowski

“What is your advice to young writers?”
“Drink, fuck and smoke plenty of cigarettes.”
― Charles Bukowski, Hot Water Music

“Regret is mostly caused by not having done anything.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.”
― Charles Bukowski

“I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile, and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
― Charles Bukowski

“The gods play no favorites.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“Are there good governments and bad governments? No, there are only bad governments and worse governments.”
― Charles Bukowski, The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories

“All that shit they were fed about democracy and opportunity was just to keep them from burning down the palace.”
― Charles Bukowski

“And love is a word used too much and much too soon.”
― Charles Bukowski, The Night Torn Mad With Footsteps

" What matters most is how well you walk through the fire"
― Charles Bukowski

"I don't hate people, I just like it better when they're not around."
― Charles Bukowski

"She had wild eyes, slightly insane. She also carried an overload of compassion that was real enough and which obviously cost her something"
— Charles Bukowski, Women


"Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

    I have one of his quotes on my profile. It's pretty cool looking at others of his quotes.
Yes, he was very cool.

Sounds like he's trying to be Jack Kerouac or Oscar Wilde. I like Jack Kerouac, a lot of folks my age do. Oscar Wilde Bukowski is not, but he still is very quotable.
