>Because he possesses something that is worth more than any amount of intelligence - an honest and faithful heart! It is the matchless treasure that he has carried through his life unharmed. People knocked him down, he grew indifferent and, at last, dropped asleep, crushed, disappointed, having lost the strength to live; but he has not lost his honesty and his faithfulness. His heart has never struck a single false note; there is no stain on his character. No well-dressed-up lie has ever deceived him and nothing will lure him from the true path. A regular ocean of evil and baseness may be surging round him, the entire world may be poisoned and turned upside down - Oblomov will never bow down to the idol of falsehood, and his soul will always be pure, noble, honest. ... His soul is translucent, clear as crystal. Such people are rare; there aren't many of them; they are like pearls in a crowd! His heart cannot be bribed; he can be relied on always and anywhere. It is to this you have remained faithful, and that is why nothing I do for him will ever be a burden to me. I have known lots of people, but no one so warmly and so firmly as Oblomov. Once you know him, you cannot stop loving him.

Despite half of my friends bailing on me, just because of that extraordinarily thoughtful gift it was the best birthday ever.

>June 23. Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way who gains the blessings of one mountain day; whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.

>tfw reading Augustine's confessions

>tfw I realized the only reason I read so many books is that it's because it makes me feel intelligent which is the only way I can escape the fact that I'm a piece of shit without any backbone or personality

It's the complete rejection of american capitalist consumerist culture the first step of self improvement and living a worthwhile life?

Do poetrhy rules change and are diferent for each language?

I speak both spanish and english, and english poetrhy is more about the rythm and is usually about iambic verse.

However spanish also has other rules based on the accent of the last word and they add and remove sillabes depending over if the last word is grave, aguda or esdrujula.

I'm new to this, can someone explain this?

Recommend me one book to make a catchy melody.

Every reddit recomendation is about books to compose clasical counterpoint but that doesn't cover popular catchy pop tunes.
