Charles Bukowski’s Life Lessons to Learn in Youth to Avoid Regret in Old Age
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles. Bukowski's work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work. The FBI kept a file on him as a result of his column Notes of a Dirty Old Man in the LA underground newspaper Open City.

Never heard of this guy before. These quotes are amazing.
Mickey Rourke played him in the 1987 movie "Barfly". It is one of the best acting performances I have ever seen and is a hilarious movie too. I would advise checking it out if you can find it. Bukowski is brilliantly affected by his environment in his works, so I hope you keep checking out his catalog.
@@aidenpearce2709 definitely gonna watch that. Love Mickey Rourke. I can imagine him playing this guy incredibly well. Yeah I'm gonna pick up some of his poetry , he's awesome.

Its called The Dunning-Kruger effect which is a cognitive bias[2] whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills.

Charles bukwski's my inspiration thanks for quotes
"When you leave this world, you go back to your Ancient Home and you meet your group. You look and you ask, “Well, did I give it all? Are my bags empty? Did I deliver everything?” If your bags are not empty, you will want to come back. No one will order you back. You will say, “My God! Why did I not see it? It is so obvious to me now! I am Home. It is so obvious! Why was I such a miserable person? I was only there for a few years, yes? It seems like yesterday that I was with you all. Well, I want to go back. When can I do it?” And you find out you have to wait a little while."
A quote from _- Wisdom from the Greater Community, Book 1 » Chapter 15: Giving I_ - by Marshall Vian Summers.
Well sometimes it happens that way I guess🤔
The question is, why should I give any weight to what Marshall Vian Summers has to say?

"Love is beautiful when loved back with a loving man not so much like the voice speaking"
Me after being with the same woman for 13 years can say it sounds like he wasnt happy with his marriage but didnt have the heart to leave her.
Same here.v r living in diametrically opposite world but still I think 100 times to leave her.
We all or most anyway, want to find someone who fills our heart, if you find someone in this life time you are a fortunate person. Sometimes we loose that person. It is sad and hurts. Keep your heart open. The loves I have had in my life, so glad they came along. Wouldn’t have wanted to miss that for anything. The song (The Dance by Garth Brooks ) says it all, you can plan to miss the pain, but you will miss the dance.

Bukowski doesn’t need royalty free synth pads behind his words, and he definitely doesn’t need a misguided voiceover actor turning in his most overwrought performance yet.
"Do you hate people? I don't hate them. I just feel better when they're not around." I agree with this too because I dislike being around toxic people.

I was saved and destroyed by a woman that I loved , respected , admired for 6 years God knows the pain , suffering she put me through Still trying to recover from the destruction deep in my soul Too late I started to understand that I didn't love myself first Alone in the world no family no friends thats when the lessons are learned better because nobody was around to help me thats the real test
Be strong. It happened to lots of men and that made us stronger. You will overcome it and be wiser and stronger
same thing happened to me
The only cure is time. Its amazing you already found the answer. It took me 2 years to realize i shouldnt make my happiness depend on someone else. Dont give up.
The answer to the problem was stated in your first sentence………..to love another you need to be comfortable to give some of the love you have learned to give yourself first, the word “ saved” suggests you had not learned how important it is to know you can share your love but never to the point that it will “ destroy “ you
Famililes in general can be similar. They are the ones who can help you the most and at the same time hurt you the most. Who knows which side of the pendulum they get more satisfaction from.

Charles Bukowski has enriched my life, ever since my "cool" English teacher surreptitiously gave me a copy of "Factotum" in the mid 1970s. I now own all his books and his spoken word LPs. He wrote poetry, prose, short stories, novels, screenplays and semi-autobiographical works. Bukowski was quite active doing live readings and he would fill smaller auditoriums in towns, cities and college theaters. His readings were provocative and hecklers didn't stand a chance. "Hank" was a counter-culture celebrity and he took zero shit from audiences. He never got widely "famous" while he was alive, but he is considered an American treasure now. If he were alive in 2022, I can only imagine what he would have to say about identity politics, "woke" idiocy, "pop culture", regressive politics and the rest of that static. Bukowski was a great American.
Hello Euclidus!Thanks for your words and acute comprehension of the only writer who ever deserved the historical "Ta gueule,Bukowski!" direct,live in the french radio from François Cavanna.Since then the most celebrated ones dream of such a consecration...😅!💜🐈⬛👵.
"Factotum" was also my introduction to Bukowski, and also in the 1970's. I bought it after reading a review. I still remember the last two lines of the review. "Look at the photo of the author on the back cover. Anyone with a mug like that isn't telling any lies."
Was he an alcoholic his whole life??

@@sovereigncitizen3633 Alcohol was a panacea for Bukowski. During live performances (readings), he would invariably bring a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine on to the stage with him and he would drink as he read his work. Alcohol was an intrinsic part of his persona and I think that the alcohol got "Bukowskied" rather than the alcohol making him an "alcoholic". Bukowski drank his entire life, right up to the very end and I daresay, he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
This man was smart. Never judge a book by its cover.

A real man is never afraid of being alone, or losing a woman. He loves her, but he will leave in a split second without hesitation. He's learned to be happy and content all alone, and that's exactly what makes him both a good partner, and a dangerous person to mistreat. Because he will walk away and never look back, only forward, with a big smile on his face. He won't have to be promiscuous, just to cope with loss. Then jump into a toxic relationship with an unhappy, desperate person. If your behavior has demonstrated that you do not love and respect him, he sees no loss in losing you. He is also fast to cut off friends and family. He would rather be all alone, than be around the wrong people. His standards are high, but logical. He is complete without anyone, who doesn't enhance his life. This is true, both for a real man, and a real woman. Too many unhappy people are looking for happiness in another person, and it's because they don't even have an ability to make themselves happy. He refers to this as insanity. If you are incomplete and unhappy, take a long look in the mirror. Happiness is an internal force that cannot be gifted, only enhanced. If you need any relationship, you're a very weak and insecure person, who needs to focus on personal self-development.
This is so true
This most wise & perceptive statement brings tremendous liberty once applied.
A great observation from a wise man.

Amazing wisdom, so true thank you.
If you really love it may be necessary to leave them . But I certainly couldn't do it lightly or without regret ..
My Favourite Quote - If You are Going to Try Go All The Way, Otherwise Don't Even Start 4:23
This was also my favorite.
By the saying "How can you trust a creature that bleeds every month and doesn't die?", is he referring to women(menstruation)?
Very well-known quote, in some circles at least, though whether he meant it as tongue-in-cheeck as those I've often seen using the quote I have no clue about since I pretty much only know the guy by name and from a few quotes here and there.
He is indeed referring to what you thought he was. The error in the video, the narrator actually saying "How can you trust a creature that bleeds every month and doesn't LIE?" is just too funny. No, not the fact that women lie [as much as men] but the "how can you trust someone that doesn't lie" thing. There has to be a term for this, one I either forgot or haven't learned yet, about such two parts of a statement being logically mutually exclusionary, for lack of a better term.

A clear struggle to "love it all" and understanding the true nature of love. Which also encompasses the perceived negative. But I really love the: If you're going to try, go all the way. That one helped me out of a very dark spot and build the life of my dreams I'm living right now! Thanks Charles! I wanna give this dude some ayahuasca lol.
Some of this is crappy and uncalled for. Some just negative nonsense.
Thank you!! At last someone said it.
It's not perfect, but it articulates a unique voice. He tried, despite what he says about trying.
He's got another philosophy that wasn't mentioned here that I think is very important for every human being to realize. I paraphrase:
True friends, no matter how long its been since they were in last contact with each other (months or years), always pick up where the left off when they do see or talk to each other.
No bitching to each other about who or why they didn't call or come by.
Excellent quotes from a great man. Thank you for Posting
"Your ambition is handicapped by laziness" got me feeling called out because it's true.
Never base your life's philosophy off drunks and psychos.
The comment of love and rushing river of piss, just had me laughing. I had never heard that one before and with the serious tone in which it was delivered just made it that much more amusing.
The quotes are great. The narrator misread so many of them it’s insane.

Charles Bukowski has some of the shortest quotes but fiery in meaning.
I like the quotes but this guy havent haven fall in love once... because anyone who has been in love know you dont choose who you love, love has reason that "reason" will never understand.
The combination of two of these two quotes is precious: "Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste." and "Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way."

Bukowski is proof that Persistance is more important than talent...His poems are ok, but they're just basic...there's no mystery to his writings....he was one of those writers that just kept putting himself out there until someone saw him and took a chance on him...I only got 2/3 into the novel women before i gave up...I couldn't deal with the misogyny....he's not for everybody and definately not for me....
