*inhales*

GASKUN WAS A FAGGOT
GASSPOSTING WAS BASED ONLY WHEN IT QUOTED HIM
THE ORIGINAL DAVEPOSTING WAS UNIRONICALLY AN INSIGHTFUL PERIOD OF /LIT/
KOLSTI WAS THE BEST AND MOST ORIGINAL WRITER EVER TO GRACE OUR /CRIT/THREADS
ZIZEK'S GENIUS WILL BE APPRECIATED ONLY AFTER HIS DEATH
STACK THREADS ARE PURE CANCER
/WG/ IS FULL OF ASPIES WHO WILL NEVER WRITE MEANINGFUL WORK, LET ALONE PUBLISH
/LIT/IZENS WHO CRY ABOUT FREE SPEECH IN FACT HAVE THE MOST FREEDOM AND THE MOST SPEECH
THE LAST GOOD YEAR OF THIS BOARD WAS 2015
/LIT/QUARTERLY IS A SEPTIC TANK THAT HAS THREE GOLD BARS AT THE BOTTOM OF IT
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T GONE TO UNIVERSITY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THIS BOARD
EVERYONE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THIS BOARD AT THE AGE OF 25

I wonder if I'll ever find my Virgil in regards to literature. Dante clearly had extraordinary appreciation for the guy, Virgil leaving is one my favorite scenes in literature.

It's pretty clear that regardless of what you think limbo is it is beyond hope for all eternity and in hell. Virgil's journey wouldn't be as poignant as it is if that weren't the case I think. And it is essential to understanding Dante's conception of faith and reason working together for the perfection of man. Reason alone falls considerably short of the goal of receiving Divine revelation and achieving the presence of God on heaven

is After the Banquet a good starting point for reading Mishima?
i'm a uni student in a shitty country and can't get a paper copy of Confessions or The Sailor right now.

should i just wait until one of those two become available to me?

Nietzsche never really realized that he's the smallest of men; a person without love is just like rancid salt, which ought to be defenestrated and trodden down underfoot (Matt 5:13). All Nietzsche's particular phobias and petty hatreds just put him a little lower in our collective esteem than a hellfire preacher like Jonathan Edwards. Perhaps he needed a woman.

Christian here, I've read the Anti-Christ and I came to the conclusion that Nietzsche, like many people with no faith in God, viewed life as a trap designed to win his sympathy although it is not deserving of sympathy. Nietzsche hates life and the people who populate this planet for not being striving, edgy sophisticates like himself.

Really, I would recommend that rather than read Nietzsche, that you go outside, find a girl, fall in love, and lose your virginity. Then you will realize that Love is the ultimate Purpose, and then you will laugh at virgins who read Nietzsche and stay indoors.

Yes, basically.
