Charles Bukowski Citations

“Tout allait de travers. Les gens s’accrochaient aveuglément à la première bouée de sauvetage venue : le communisme, la diététique, le zen, le surf, la danse classique, l’hypnotisme, la dynamique de groupe, les orgies, le vélo, l’herbe, le catholicisme, les haltères, les voyages, le retrait intérieur, la cuisine végétarienne, l’Inde, la peinture, l’écriture, la sculpture, la musique, la profession de chef d’orchestre, les balades sac à dos, le yoga, la copulation, le jeu, l’alcool, zoner, les yaourts surgelés, Beethoven, Bach, Bouddha, le Christ, le H, le jus de carotte, le suicide, les costumes sur mesure, les voyages en avion, New York City, et soudain, tout se cassait la gueule, tout partait en fumée. Il fallait bien que les gens trouvent quelque chose à faire en attendant de mourir. Pour ma part, je trouvais plutôt sympa qu’on ait le choix.”

en
Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.
Women, 1978
