Nietzsche, huh? Not bad, have you read Beyond Good and Evil? A bit too sophistic but I didn't mind his short little words of wisdom.

'Without music, life would be a mistake'
'Where there is the tree of knowledge, there is always Paradise: so say the most ancient and most modern serpents'

Currently: Machiavelli - Il principe

Epic of Gilgamesh

it started with the english (for obvious reason) and spread with anglo culture

>>8958264
French was the "Language" before English became super prominent.

If you were a diplomat in the 18th century you knew French or you weren't a diplomat. French was the language of romance and culture.

because america was created under the belief that european culture is the only horizon. when they created their own base culture based on the english, this same tendency continues inside this pseudoculture but cant take english itself so they take whatever is next on the map.

It signifies that all women will turn into bitter old hags the moment you commit.

it's a great way to out someone as a mindless slave to their own instincts

Kubrick deliberately goes for collective unconscious type stuff, maybe in the shining more than anything else

>>8958222
As a child learns, by imitation and memorization.

Well said. The only thing I could add is to make a deliberate effort to say exactly what you mean. If you challenge yourself not to rely on another person's comprehension for a time, your word choice and phrasing will improve, and you will more easily be able to convey your message .

>>8959098
Agreed with this. Then once you've got the hang of saying exactly what you mean, work on saying it concisely. The trick is to be concise but add just a smidgen of padding and diplomacy so you don't come off as abrupt.

Maybe his speechwriter is not a complete pleb.

Pleb

bc he had to

Cancer/syphilis

He didn't.

I have no doubt the horse story is an exaggeration which has been constantly parroted by nu-males to form some sort of idealistic tormented figure in Nietzsche to set him up as a tormented God!

>>8957917
are you kidding me?
just go on /mu/ half that board argues all day about what music normies wouldn't "get" and the other half argues pleb/patrician bs
/tv/ is little better since some kid has tricked them into using kino as an excuse to like transformers

Reading literature isn't a hobby, it's not a bit of fun. It's a necessity in order to be a well rounded, well respected individual.

>>8957926
That's another subject. You're talking about what should be esteemed and canonized in each respective art. Literature readers are pretentious in this too but I have no quarrel with that. I just don't like those that say shit like this >>8957927.

As a Serb, I approve of this and am interested in it myself.

This is now a folk literature thread. Bumping with a realist painting that I like.

Check duotales. The translation is shit though - plain contemporary English. Srry bro, maybe some day you will be speaking the language.

Shsu.edu is better btw, but the problem remains. Check Ilya of Murom.
