Charles Bukowski quotes
“I wanted the whole world or nothing.”
“You have to die a few times before you can really live.”
“My ambition is handicapped by laziness.”
“We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
“What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”
“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.”
“Do you hate people? I don’t hate them… I just feel better when they’re not around.”
“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
“The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.”
