"Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in…rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt."
― Charles Bukowski
"I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here."
― Charles Bukowski
"Just living until you die is hard work,"
― Charles Bukowski, Women
"Zemër", i thash, "Unë jam një gjeni por askush nuk e di këtë, përpos unë."
― Charles Bukowski
"I need a good woman. I need a good woman
more than I need this typewriter, more than
I need my automobile, more than I need
Mozart; I need a good woman so badly that I
can taste her in the air, I can feel her
at my fingertips, I can see sidewalks built
for her feet to walk upon,
I can see pillows for her head,
I can feel my waiting laughter,
I can see her petting a cat,
I can see her sleeping,
I can see her slippers on the floor."
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
"My revolution is a one-man revolution and almost everybody is the enemy. I may not be doing a great deal of damage, but at least I'm not bullshitting."
― Charles Bukowski, Living on Luck
"I would rather die than cry. I can't stand hounds can't live without them. I hang my head against the white refrigerator and want to scream like the last weeping of life forever but I am bigger than the mountains."
― Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell
"ambition rarely has anything to do with talent. Luck is best, and talent limps along a little bit behind luck."
― Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell
"مردها تلفن می کنن و می پرسن
شما واقعا چارلز بوکوفسکیِ نویسنده هستید؟

منم جواب میدم که
بعضی وقتها نویسنده ام
.ولی اغلب کاری نمی کنم

بعد میگن، گوش کن، من خیلی کاراتو دوست دارم، میشه بیام پیشت و چند جعبه آبجو بیارم؟
.منم جواب میدم، میتونی بیاری اگه داخل نیای

،وقتی زنها تلفن می کنن
،میگم بله من می نویسم، نویسنده ام
.و همین الان فقط نمی نویسم
بعد میگن، احساس احمقانه ای دارم که بهتون تلفن کردم
.و خیلی سورپرایز شدم اسمتونو توی دفترچه تلفن دیدم
منم جواب میدم، که دلیل داره... راستی چرا نمیای اینجا یه آبجو با هم بزنیم؟
از نظر شما ایرادی نداره؟

.و میان، زنهای زیبا با ذهن، بدن و چشمان بی نظیر

،اغلب سکسی در کار نیست
.اما دیگه عادت کردم
،ولی هنوز میارزه
.حتی نگاه کردن بهشونم خوبه
،ولی موارد خاصی
.شانس غیرمنتظره ای میارم
،برای مردی 55 ساله
،که تا 23 سالگی سکس نداشته
،و تا 50 سالگی هم چیز زیادی نصیبش نشده
،به نظرم باید اسمم توی دفترچه تلفنِ پَسیفیک بمونه، تا به مردای عادی برسم
،البته باید به نوشتن شعرهای جاودانه ادامه بدم
.اما الهام از اونجا میاد"
― Charles Bukowski

"I think that people who keep notebooks and jot down their thoughts are jerk-offs. I am only doing this because somebody suggested I do it, so you see, I'm not even an original jerk-off. But this somehow makes it easier. I just let it roll. Like a hot turd down a hill."
― Charles Bukowski, The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship
"(I'm fucking the grave, I thought, I'm
bringing the dead back to life, marvelous
so marvelous
like eating cold olives at 3 am
with half the town on fire)"
― Charles Bukowski
"but what can I make of love when we are all born at a different time and place and only meet through a trick of centuries and a chance three steps to the left? you"
― Charles Bukowski, On Love
"But you know, my former life as a bibliophile, it possibly kept me from murdering somebody, myself included. it kept me from being an industrialist. it allowed me to endure some women that most men would never be able to live with. it gave me space, a pause. it helped me to write this."
― Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems
"But I didn't want to be anything anyhow. And I was certainly succeeding."
― Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye
"I walked up the driveway. The cats were sprawled about, pooped. In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass. Humans are too miserable and angry and single-minded."
― Charles Bukowski, On Cats
"اغلب تنها نوشتن فاصله بین
تو و ناممکن است

نه مشروب
نه عشق زنان
نه پول
همتایش نیستند
جز نوشتن چیزی نجاتت نمی‌دهد

دیوارها را در برابر هجوم مغولان استوار نگه می‌دارد
تاریکی را نورانی می‌کند
نوشتن آخرین روان‌پزشک است
مهربان‌ترین خدا بین تمام خدایان است

نوشتن مرگ را می‌تاراند، ترکت نمی‌کند
و نوشتن می‌خندد
بر خودش
بر رنج
آخرین توقع است
آخرین تفسیر
نوشتن تمام این‌هاست"
― Charles Bukowski

"Listen, friend, he said, this whole game is just one big deck of cards. if you want to get into the game you have to take whatever comes up in the shuffle."
― Charles Bukowski, Notes of a Dirty Old Man
"If you have the ability to love, love yourself first, but always be aware of the possibility of total defeat whether the reason for that defeat seems right or wrong."
― Charles Bukowski
"I am bitter sometimes
but the taste has often been
sweet. it's only that I've
feared to say it. it's like
when you woman says,
"tell me you love me," and
you can't."
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
"The moonlight came in with the sounds of the city: juke boxes, automobiles, curses, dogs barking, radios … We were all in it together."
― Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye
"And if you decide to kill somebody,
make it anybody and not somebody:
some men are made of more special, precious parts:
do not kill if you will a president or a King or a man behind a desk -
these have heavenly longitudes
enlightened attitudes.

If you decide,
take us
who stand and smoke and glower;
we are rusty with sadness
and
feverish
with climbing broken ladders"
― Charles Bukowski
