Charles Bukowski
“Lighting new cigarettes,
pouring more
drinks.

It has been a beautiful
fight.

Still
is.”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

Charles Bukowski
“Without literature, life is hell.”
Charles Bukowski

Kinky Friedman
“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
Kinky Friedman

Charles Bukowski
“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.”
Charles Bukowski, Women

Charles Bukowski
“dear J:
I feel lucky that I didn’t fuck you the first time we met in Houston, but luckier that I didn’t fuck you the last time we met in San Francisco. this is the answer to your letter even though I don’t know if you’ll ever read it. the words are yours but I’ll get credit for the poem. you see, it could never have worked, the way I am.
B.”
Charles Bukowski
