One of the things you have to deal with in this business is being whipped on by brainless freaks and special-interest pleaders. It never ends. On some nights they gnaw on your doorknob, and on others they plot rotten lawsuits and fondle themselves like chimpanzees in rooms lit by 25-watt bulbs.
- Hunter S Thompson, "Revenge of the Fish Heads"

.. you could live to be five hundred years old and never even DREAM lines like that.

>As for minute joys: as I was saying: do you realize the illicit sensuous delight I get from picking my nose? I always have, ever since I was a child–there are so many subtle variations of sensation. A delicate, pointed-nailed fifth finger can catch under dry scabs and flakes of mucous in the nostril and draw them out to be looked at, crumbled between fingers, and flicked to the floor in minute crusts. Or a heavier, more determined forefinger can reach up and smear down-and-out the soft, resilient, elastic greenish-yellow smallish blobs of mucous, roll them round and jelly-like between thumb and forefinger, and spread them on the under surface of a desk or chair where they will harden into organic crusts. How many desks and chairs have I thus secretively befouled since childhood? Or sometimes there will be blood mingled with the mucous in dry brown scabs, or bright sudden wet red on the finger that scraped too rudely the nasal membranes. God, what a sexual satisfaction! It is absorbing to look with new sudden eyes on the old worn habits: to see a sudden luxurious and pestilential “snot green sea”, and shiver with the shock of recognition.

Is there anyone who can convey the universal human condition and sheer pathos of Picking Your Nose like Sylvia Plath?

Sorry meant to say pic unrelated.

Its died down a lot lately at least.

I will say though, it does at least have a double edge sword of encouraging people to learn other languages

>>8797032
to be quite honest, translated prose is even better for me. I don't give a fuck about the original language if I can't understand 100% of what I read (100% means exactly like your mothertongue, and that's impossible even if you study a foreign language for decades). my favorite thing while reading is to enrich my own vocabulary and my own sensibility towards my language, which I love. fuck the originals. unless it's poetry, literally fuck them and god bless translators.

The movies are hardly a starting point, more a way of spreading awareness about him as a thinker.
