Top 10s: Charles Bukowski Quotes

.

Sure, he may be rough
& vulgar.
Like the pot-ridden face
that inspired his work.

Bukowski is our pain,
our solitude.
Few carry sorrow
-shrouded in wisdom-
as he.

Bukowski is proof that
even the lowest
of of our lot
has a world of beauty
inside.

but also a recipe
for a new type of learning!

Enjoy,

Special thanks to Alex Avila,
the media mastermind
behind it all.
