You can't live on nothing." "I can live on sunlight falling across little bridges. I can live on the Botticelli-blue cornflower pattern on the out-billowing garments of the attendant to Aphrodite and the pattern of strawberry blossoms and the little daisies in the robe of Primavera. I can live on the doves flying (he says) in cohorts from the underside of the faded gilt of the balcony of Saint Mark's cathedral and the long corridors of the Pitti Palace. I can gorge myself on Rome and the naked Bacchus and the face like a blasted lightning-blasted white birch that is some sort of Fury.

She did not look at the daffodils. They didn't mean anything. She looked at the daffodils. She said, 'Thank you for the daffodils.'

--------------SPOILERS OF IT--------------------
*cough* hum, all right all right, here's a few things i wanted to share about this book with my fellow compatriotes : 1. The Turtle. What the fuck. I mean, if you make a good (turtle) and an evil (It) side, make the good side look like something, all i could come up with at the end is that the Turtle could've NEVER helped them and it never did (except maybe that one time with Mike when he threw a rock at the gigantic bird and he felt like someone was pushing his arm and that was it no more appearances from that lazy ass turtle) unless you'd say that everything that happened, all the coincidences that allowed them to beat It was because of the Turtle, and Bill clearly thinks that, how can it die so ridiculously by, i quote It, " chocking on a galaxy or two ", it's a joke, but i don't know man i wish there was more of this turtle, the concept looked cool, and apparently the Turtle isn't a God obviously cause it died, and at the end Bill felt (or heard) like some voice from above told him " good job, son ", AND when Georgy went to the basement to take the waterproofing substance he saw a turtle on the lid, and it hypnotized him, even though he hadn't encountered It yet. Well all this shit about this is not really clear if you ask me. 2. The obsession with Beverly. God is King a pedo or something ? All the details about her look, the fascination, it's almost like he wants you to ship her. 3. The gangbang in the sewers. Yeah i read King's explanation if this scene, how it's not primarly about sex but more about connecting childhood to adulthood and breaking a barrier that will allow them to go on. But seriously, they're 11, and how he made Beverly's climax so real, so mature (" YES YES YES OH DEAR") makes me think he really wanted to make it happend that little pervert. Well that was all i wanted to share with you, obviously if i had time i could go one for days making an in-depths study of this book, debating about present and pass... Never the less, it is probably my all time favorite horror novel.

It is. Good hot summer reading too (if the post arrives from somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere). Like his stories, H's journalism is top notch.
What is the best book of the Bible, and why?

Job. Because 'lol god was impotent and has lost all control and everything is chaos'
>>
Proverbs. Because it talks about forgiveness and stuff
>>
>>9828659
Ecclesiastes, because it starts off by saying everything is meaningless and nothing is new under the Sun, which immediately gives me divinely inspired sanction to rip the whole book apart and burn it.
Also,
Ecclesiastes 1:18 is some real shit.

No, the simple degenerate pagan is just at the beginning. He's yet to understand the glory of the resurrection and what love truly means through that community of spirit beyond death
>>
No, that is retarded Jaden Smith tier philosophising.
Him dying is appearantly "love itself", because "He will not hate, nor kill, nor steal". All of this ignoring that all three of those things can be an expression of love and an expression of love of the greater good, E.G. a Robin Hood character hating the rich, killing them, redistributing their wealth to the poor, and preventing mass starvation. Since his death prevents him from doing all these things, and benefits things that the dead person did not love, his dead body is love itself.
Arguing about what love is, is a fairly winding road to go down because it has been defined rather loosely over the ages and differently by different cultures, but no, dying and having animals you don't care about eating your corpse is not love. The act of dying to feed hungry animals COULD be love, but is not love in this case.
This is more targeting the weaker point than if it is truly love to discriminate in favour of one person to the detriment of the greater good. Which is more interesting but ultimately gets into semantics and is a rather cynical take on human relationships.

THE escape began, set by the moon, only miles from the sand and the sea. The clouds hid in summer hibernation as the lunar spotlight lit the streets and the dry valley air brushed the faces of the two men. Along the gritty stucco-ish facade of his sister’s Beverly Hills mansion, Jacques crept in spidery tip-toes parallelly to the château walls, the papery skin on his back rived on the architectural cheese grater, his positioning that of a standing spread eagle, practicing an exacting watchfulness with each step he took, he tightrope walked a ledge at the daunting height of an inch or two on a sliver of exposed concrete foundation flush to a contemporary gravel garden while small red-velvet-cake colored smudges trailed behind glistening in the moonlight. Peering over his right shoulder, Jacques scanned the sturdy, oak French doors, the circular windows, and the entire perimeter.
To Jack’s 10 o’clock, Jung S. Roberts, also known as his not-so-criminal partner-in-crime, also known as his B.F.F. from the Bayou, also known as Doctor Johnny Phud-Er-Sumthin’ by his humid cousins in Louisiana, also known as Cheshire Cat because his initials J.S.R. sort of sounded like the name Cheshire if you said it as a word and not as individual letters, like a dog when you bring them home from a hysterectomy surgery or an equally illanguid, haphazard creature, dragged his feet five meters behind Jack while uprooting rocks in the garden, which tumbled over the toe of his shiny leather shoes and back onto the lawn where they laid in uneven piles.

you need to prune this shit back, brother. you need to focus carefully on the motions of bodies when you write action. aside from that, your style is a poor copy of tired american maximalist "post"modernism and I don't want, nobody really wants, to explore that world any more.

One cringes to hear scientists cooing over the universe or any part thereof like schoolgirls over-heated by their first crush. From the studies of Krafft-Ebbing onward, we know that it is possible to become excited about anything—from shins to shoehorns. But it would be nice if just one of these gushing eggheads would step back and, as a concession to objectivity, speak the truth: THERE IS NOTHING INNATELY IMPRESSIVE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE OR ANYTHING IN IT.

my dad is going crazy. I live on the other side of the ocean and every night, I have to listen to him go more and more crazy. he's destroyed his own life, and I don't have the means to help him. lately, he's stopped saying I love you when he hangs up. tonight, he told me that he's proud of me and that no matter what happens, I have to live a better life than he did. I feel like dying. I feel like he's already dead.
