Now I know why Goethe grew to despise his first great creation. Move on, we get that you fixate on girls not interested in you

Literally one of my dreams.
Actually, Brexit passing felt this way. I will similarly celebrate when the EU falls someday.

Probably my favorite time. I'm happy living now, despite all the evils, because romanticism is not about things being good. But in many ways my heart is with early 19th Century Germany and I will always consider it the height of humanity. I don't think anyone ever got it more right.

>In reply, Wittgenstein would send 'portraits', photographs of distinguished looking middle-aged men, ripped out of newspaper advertisements for self-improvement courses. 'My latest photo', he announced, enclosing one such picture. 'The previous one expressed fatherly kindness only; this one expresses triumph.'
>'Somehow or other', Wittgenstein writes at the end of one letter, 'one instinctively feels that Two Steeples No. 83 Quality Sock is a real man's sock. It's a sock of taste - dressy, fashionable, comfortable.'
>In a postscript to another, he writes: 'You may through my generosity one of these days get a free sample of Glostora the famous hair oil, may your hair always retain that gloss which is so characteristic for well groomed gentlemen.'
>Some of the jokes contained in Wittgenstein's letters to Pattisson are, indeed, astonishingly feeble. Enclosing an address that ends 'W.C.1', he draws an arrow to the 'W.C.' and writes: 'This doesn't mean "Lavatory".' And on the back of a postcard of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, he writes: 'If I remember rightly this Cathedral was built, partly at least, by the Normans. Of course, it's a long time ago & my memory isn't what it was then.'
