what Keats said: no such thing as the world becoming an easy place to save your soul in

Virginia Woolf

Proust

It’s hard to say something about Nabokov to a person who doesn’t know anything about him. Nabokov is a great writer. Joyce is not as great as Nabokov. Melville compared to Nabokov is a nobody. and Kafka, Beckett and Stein are just little kids compared to Nabokov. In fact, compared to Nabokov, all… read more

My most recent purchase— Aesop's Fables

I had read some of these long ago when I was much younger. I don't really remember exactly many of them other than the most notorious "Tortoise and the Hare" that we all know of. I just recall there being alot of different animals in these fables 😄 It's a refreshing book of simplicity for… (edited) read more

My Most Honest Recommendation

I have to share one of my favorite recommendations with you: Machado de Assis. His work was translated into English some time ago, so there is no need to know Portuguese to discover him. He is, in my opinion, the greatest writer Brazil has ever had, and I truly believe more English-speaking… read more

the fig tree analogy

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor,… read more

Creating A World Never To Be Lived

*Piece from Notes* I would like to implement the use of Occam's Razor in this repeated observation for I question: "Is it not more simple and more reassuring that a time more recent would be more excusable than if we were to arbitrate a time further elapsed?" (Sorry alot of "mores" in that… (edited) read more

The best fanfic writer in history.

Passage from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov

This is a powerful passage that—at least for me—hits hard. It occurs in the context of Ivan explaining why he adopts a posture of rebellion. He doesn't take the standard approach to the philosophical problem of evil, which is to deny that an omnipotent, omniscient, and all-loving god exists.… read more

Lost In the deep water of your dark eyes Suffused with truth and sorrow Light of hope Sways in your pitch‑black pupils

As they stare straight in through me I'm unable to remove my eyes from them As the melancholic rivers, into the air, flow from you I stand up, and walk inside you The dark space behind your paper‑thin facade To see the candlelight stand distantly in the middle All is dark, yet feels a… (edited) read more

How inclusive must you be...

I always wonder how many of those who are actually able to separate themselves from the things of their humanistic world; and to understand that they secretly possess a power that allows them to think independently for themselves 😊

"Because only at night, my noisy longing finds its home. On this keyboard, it is always the only reason why my fingers never tire of dancing."

Just finished reading Metamorphosis, and it surprised me how relevant it still feels today.

More than a century has passed since Kafka wrote it, yet not much has changed. Most of us still live routine, trivial lives, caught up in work that exhausts us while knowing we are ultimately replaceable. Only a few people get the chance to truly discover who they are; the rest, like Gregor, carry… read more

Cheap Love At A High Price

Selfish me and twofold there be, To reserve thyself for another such like me. Love be greedy, love be kind, Love for me be a waste of time. My twin flame I take eye, greater passion would be; But this only seeks to satisfy mine own and not of Thee. Deliver me from mine own… (edited) read more
