Few beautiful women were willing to indicate in public that they belonged to someone. I had known enough women to realize this. I accepted them for what they were and love came hard and very seldom. When it did it was usually for the wrong reasons. One simply became tired of holding back love and let it go because it needed some place to go. Then, usually, there was trouble.
Charles Bukowski
it was like any other relationship, there wasjealousy on both sides, there were split-ups and reconciliations. there were also fragmented moments ofgreat peace and beauty. I often tried to get away from her andshe tied to get away from mebut it was difficult: Cupid, in his strange way, was reallythere.
Charles Bukowski
There were no judgments to be made, yet out of necessity one had to select. Beyond good and evil was all right in theory, but to go on living one had to select: some were kinder than others, some were simply more interested in you, and sometimes the outwardly beautiful and inwardly cold were necessary. The kinder ones fucked better, really, and after you were around them a while they seemed beautiful because they were.
Charles Bukowski
