A Bukowski line that made you laugh out loud!

[roni]

"Henry Chinaski, Minor Poet, Floods Utah Countryside In Order To Save His Soft Los Angeles Ass."



(women, chpt.30)

 

[chicagoburgers]

This line from 'Notes' always leaves me with a shit-eatin grin:

"the ass is the face of the soul of sex"

 

[Gerard K H Love]

That line almost makes OK to act like an ass.;)

 

[Po' Boy]

I think its from notes - he's taking about war, about all the men going off to fight but casanova staying behind and fucking all the women.

he says, 'but casanova died too, just an old man with a big dick and a long tongue and no guts at all.' love that line

"...and the soldier said: FUCK THAT GUY!
which I thought was a very nice thing for him
to tell his wife to do.
of course,
she never did."


(from: the soldier, his wife and the bum. in: Last Night of the Earth, p.293)

In Hollywood when Chinaski refers to his old column he use to write as Notes From A Neanderthal Man.

I'm too sober right now to laugh at anything but this one always makes me smirk:

Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and eight times out of nine I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities.

Whenever I've lived alone I always keep my kitchen pretty tidy but I have no problem with letting that confession condemn me.

 

[Pop Farnsworth]

I'm the victim of an inequity.

The signature quote below from HORSEMEAT.

Countless times it saved me from endlessly dull, dull, dull publishers sales meetings, when I would think of it and break into a smile and be saved by the BUK once again. While he did it physically, I would do it mentally.
