Of course they did. Try reading Dostoevsky, or maybe Tolstoy.

What did you guys think of Thermos Flasks? One half of me thinks it was a bit half-strewn. At the same time there was something really evocative and disquieting in it.

The Pearl is funny.
Is it actually a satire about Pearl Harbour?

The Antichrist - XLIV

"[...]The underlying will to make use only of such concepts, symbols and attitudes as fit into priestly practice, the instinctive repudiation of every other mode of thought, and every other method of estimating values and utilities–this is not only tradition, it is inheritance: only as an inheritance is it able to operate with the force of nature. The whole of mankind, even the best minds of the best ages (with one exception, perhaps hardly human–), have permitted themselves to be deceived.[...]"

Who is he talking about, /lit/? Who is this hardly human exception? He isnt talking about Jesus because one can't be deceived by his own theory (or perhaps yes, but I dont think he is talking about Jesus in this context).

how do i keep motivated at writing a book? i have all the ideas, and i open up the word document, but nothing gets written down. I always somehow distract myself and find something else like netflix and its aggrivating. Teach me your ways

For one thing, turn off the internet when it's writing time.

Accept that your first draft will be crap and just start farting out words until you have a complete story/essay/whatever you're writing. You can improve it in the rewrites (of which there should be several).
>>
you have to do it yourself.
