Caroline Brigid

“Human relationships were strange. I mean, you were with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stopped. Then there was a short period when you weren't with anybody, then another woman arrived, and you ate with her and fucked her, and it all seemed so normal, as if you had been waiting just for her and she had been waiting for you. I never felt right being alone; sometimes it felt good but it never felt right.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“nobody ever finds
the one”

“I pretend to understand because I don't want anybody to be hurt”
― Charles Bukowski, Hollywood

“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”
― Charles Bukowski, Mockingbird Wish Me Luck
