Say "Ecce Homo" and teach him The Gay Science.

Give him a Nietzsch-around

After instructing him with your Human, all too Human Plowshare, you should lay back and have some Untimely Meditations until The Dawn.

How retarded are liberals??

The way I see it is like this:

If a key can get into any lock, it must be a very good key.

But if a lock can be broken into by any shitty key, then it's not a very good lock.

That better not be racist

I've never read any post-modernist Arab lit but from what little I've read of annotated classics I wouldn't even approach it for shame of all the untranslatable typographical puns I'd be missing

>>8502205

No racism intended.

Arabic as a language lends itself heavily to poetic expression. I once read a poem on the subject of night, and practically slapped myself when I realized that the poet had deliberately written the entire poem using only what are called "moon letters". Not a single sun letter was used. There is a level of craft to certain Arab works that is astonishing when you know enough to dissect it.

bump, surely I can't be alone

Why not?
If you collect excerpts on an ebook, share the link friendo. The average lit populace read depressing stuff anyway.

>>8502045
yeah i'll probably do this after i've been writing for a while and can actually select some worthwhile material

I wouldn't bother, straight white men who are a bit useless and have some mild drug dependency don't provide insight to the zeitgeist, nor even to themselves. Just keep smoking weed, enjoy it!

>Drink Orange Juice
>Masturbate
>Drink Orange Juice again

I'm ready

>>8501969
There is the recalling of having writing to write in that split instant of listnessless before you will have engaged yourself in some other activity

>>8502342
Why orange juice, of all things?

Just make yourself do it OP.

im tripping balls and this video made me paranoid as fuck

Instead of making a new thread let me hijack this one, it's my first time doing an essay in English, it's only a 400 word practice. Can I use quote from the text I'm doing an essay on? If so how often and how should I mark them? I'm asking because I can do it in my primary language and I don't want to mix both.

>>8501911
he's great the long walk had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. what did garrity win

>>8501911
Maybe 10% of his entire ouvre, however many thousands of pages that is, is memorable, and mostly in the comfy sense and not the actual literary merit sense.

>>8501930
Could you explain?
