Poetry Quote by Charles Bukowski — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““Style is the answer to everything.”

“Turgenev was a very serious fellow but he could make me laugh because a truth first encountered can be very funny. When someone else's truth is the same as your truth, and he seems to be saying it just for you, that's great.”

“I do think that poetry is important though, if you don’t strive at it, if you don’t fill it full of stars and falseness.”

“She's mad, but she's magic. There's no lie in her fire.”

“it's good to have things done with”

“when we were kids”

“I swear that girl was born with a pen in her hand, the moon in her hair, and stars in her soul.”

“Promise me no promises,”

“I saw my face today”

“That's not a run in your stocking, it's a hand on your leg.”

“A Note”

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
