Charles Bukowski Knives Quotations

I'll use the knives for spreading jam, and the gas to warm my greying love.

Don't wait for the good woman. She doesn't exist. There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd.

I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.

It’s the order of things: each one gets a taste of honey then the knife.
