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

“I see a bright”

“sometimes when everything seems at”

“the best part was”

“some moments are nice, some are”

“having nothing to struggle”

“it's good to have things done with”

“Want of imagination makes things unreal enough to be destroyed. By imagination I mean knowledge and love. I mean compassion. People of power kill children, the old send the young to die, because they have no imagination. They have power. Can you have power and imagination at the same time? Can you kill people you don’t know and have compassion for them at the same time?”

“لم يعد يستهويني تقمص كل تلك الشخوص دون فائدة ، كل ما أريده الآن أن أكون شخصا واحدا...أنا نفسي و بدون قناع”

“They say that I am a poet”

“As an unperfect actor on the stage,”

“funny how our hearts”

“I stalk certain words... I catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, I trap them, clean them, peel them, I set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... I stir them, I shake them, I drink them, I gulp them down, I mash them, I garnish them... I leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... Everything exists in the word.”
