Charles Bukowski Ass Quotations

Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.

If I'm an ass, I should say so. If I don't, somebody else will. If I say it first, that disarms them.

The role of the poet is almost nothing...drearily nothing. And when he steps outside of his boots and tries to get tough as our dear Ezra [Pound] did, he will get his pink little ass slapped.
