Bukowski Quotes

Charles Bukowski is an inspiration to all of us:

"(Drinking) gets me out of the normal person that I am. Drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now."

"Wine helps my writing. Wine helps keep things normal. I used to drink beer and scotch together. And Write. But you can only write for an hour, or maybe an hour and a half that way. Then, it's too much. But with wine, as I said, you can write three to four hours."

"Beer, well...you have to go to the bathroom every ten minutes. It breaks the concentration. So wine is the best for creation. The blood of the gods."
