—Charles Bukowski (1920–1994)
Bukowski (feminine Bukowska) is a Polish surname. It is composed of buk (Common Slavic for "beech tree") and the suffixes -ow and -ski. In some cases, the name may originate from a toponym, i.e. the name would have been given to or adopted by a person or family from a place named Buków, for example.

“Never hate, it only eats you alive. Keep an open mind and always look for the good in people. You may be surprised at what you find.” —Erich Hartmann
Volledige quote:
"One thing I've learned is this: Never allow yourself to hate a people because of the actions of a few. Hatred and bigotry destroyed my nation, and millions died. I would hope that most people did not hate Germans because of the Nazis, or Americans because of slaves. Never hate, it only eats you alive. Keep an open mind and always look for the good in people. You may be surprised at what you find."
Legendarische anekdote:
Q: Tell about the time you received the Oak Leaves from Hitler.
Erich: That was a strange time. First, most of us were drunk. Gerd Barkhorn, Walter Krupinski, Johannes Wiese and I were to report to Berchtesgaden. All of us except Gerd were getting the Oak Leaves, he was getting the Swords. By the time we got there, we were trying to sober up. Walter always stated years later that we had to hold each other up. We had been drinking cognac and champagne, a deadly combination when you have not eaten in a couple of days. The first person we met off the train was Hitler’s Luftwaffe adjutant, Major von Below, who was I think in a state of shock at our condition. We were to meet Hitler in a couple of hours, and we could hardly stand. This was in March 1944, and there was a lot of snow at that time at that altitude.
I could not find my hat, and my vision was not the best, so I took a hat on a stand and put it on, and it was too large. I knew it was not mine at that time. Below became upset and told me it was Hitler’s, and to put it back. Everyone was laughing about it except Below. I made some joke about Hitler having a big head, and that it ‘must go with the job,’ which created even more laughter.

Bukowski is certainly fascinated by women — they’re the ballast of the majority of his writing — but you get the sense that he’d rather sleep with one than sit with one. In a 1971 letter, he wrote:
... don’t wait for a good woman. she doesn’t exist. there are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts. the female loves to play man against man. and if she is in a position to do it there is not one who will not resist. the male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. the female is skilled at betrayal. and torture and damnation.
