Henry Charles Bukowski költő, író.

Otthona az amerikai Los Angeles volt, melynek földrajzi adottságai és atmoszférája erősen befolyásolta Bukowski munkásságát. Stílusa nagy hatással volt kortársaira, akik gyakran utánozták azt. Ő maga termékeny író volt, több ezer költeményt, több száz novellát és hat regényt jegyez; több mint ötven könyve jelent meg nyomtatásban. Rendszeresen emlegetik a skid row koszorús költőjeként.

Charles Bukowski: Idézetek angolul

“What a woman wants is a reaction. What a man wants is a woman.”

Charles Bukowski könyv The People Look Like Flowers at Last

Forrás: The People Look Like Flowers at Last

“Finally there is nothing here for death to take away.”

Forrás: What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“When a hot woman meets a hermit one of them is going to change.”

Forrás: What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“That was all a man needed: hope. It was a lack of hope that discouraged a man.”

Charles Bukowski könyv Factotum

Forrás: Factotum (1975), Ch. 29
Kontextus: That was all a man needed: hope. It was a lack of hope that discouraged a man. I remembered my New Orleans days, living on two five-cent candy bars a day for weeks at a time in order to have leisure to write. But starvation, unfortunately, didn't improve art. It only hindered it. A man's soul was rooted in his stomach. A man could write much better after eating a porterhouse steak and drinking a pint of whiskey than he could ever write after eating a nickel candy bar. The myth of the starving artist was a hoax.

“I feel strangely normal.”

Forrás: The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship

“some men never
die
and some men never
live

but we're all alive
tonight.”

Forrás: You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“I hope that death contains
less than this.”

Forrás: Love Is a Dog from Hell

“Dying should come easy:
like a freight train you
don't hear when
your back is
turned.”

Forrás: The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain: New Poems

“Everything else just kept picking and picking, hacking away. And nothing was interesting, nothing. The people were restrictive and careful, all alike. And I've got to live with these fuckers for the rest of my life, I thought.”

Charles Bukowski könyv Ham on Rye

Ham On Rye (1982)
Forrás: Ham on Rye
Kontextus: And my own affairs were as bad, as dismal, as the day I had been born. The only difference was that now I could drink now and then, though never often enough. Drink was the only thing that kept a man from feeling forever stunned and useless. Everything else just kept picking and picking, hacking away. And nothing was interesting, nothing. The people were restrictive and careful, all alike. And I've got to live with these fuckers for the rest of my life, I thought. God, they all had assholes and sexual organs and their mouths and their armpits. They shit and they chattered and they were dull as horse dung. The girls looked good from a distance, the sun shining through their dresses, their hair. But get up close and listen to their minds running out of their mouths, you felt like digging in under a hill and hiding out with a tommy-gun. I would certainly never be able to be happy, to get married, I could never have children. Hell, I couldn't even get a job as a dishwasher.

“Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.”

Charles Bukowski könyv Factotum

Változat: Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.

“regret is mostly caused by not having
done anything.”

Forrás: You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“we had such tremendous fun
and much agony together
for some years”

Charles Bukowski könyv The People Look Like Flowers at Last

Forrás: The People Look Like Flowers at Last

“It’s so easy to be easy—if you let it.”
