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

““my mother, poor fish,”

“there are so many days”

“during my worst times”

“What is your advice to young writers?”

“I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.”

“Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But that's the result of a chance meeting too. You're damned right. Drink up. We'll have another.”

“i like my body when it is with your”

“a woman will tell you”

“We are spirits clad in veils.”

“September has come, it is hers”

“Heart, we will forget him!”

“Tell all the truth but tell it slant.”
