The most influential human in history died a virgin

Yeah and he had the sense to not write anything.

That would make a pretty good /lit/ infographic:-

BEST BOOKS WRITTEN BY VIRGINS

Principia Mathematica, obviously

Not sure about Jane Austen, but she might well get in there.

I would like to include my man Nietzsche but there is pretty strong evidence he did enter into occasional short-term financial arrangements with members of the opposite sex.

>> No.10826611

Meme trilogy would be included of course

I wonder about Henry James. I mean I think he was homosexual but he might have been celibate too :)

Emily Bronte might well have been.

Wouldn't be surprised if Emily Dickinson was too.

What about Kafka?

>> No.10826628

>>10826619

I mean Newton obviously sorry, was giving short title, forgot that was Russell & Whitehead's title as well.

>> No.10826773

>>10826626
James was probably just celibate. Kafka fucked prostitutes.
>>10826619
Wittgenstein was a virgin too

>> No.10826820

E.M. Forster was a limp passive homosexual who didn't dare DO anything about it he was late 30s I think, which was after all his main stuff was written.

Wilfred Owen likewise (according to Robert Graves, anyway) - though getting killed super-young didn't help much.

George Bernard Shaw was probably just asexual.

Don't read anything by:
a short man
a virgin man
a bald man
a weak-jawed man
His inferiority complex has made him pessimistic and it shows through his work.

Keats and Faulkner were both manlets.
Henry James, Wilfred Owen and G.B.Shaw probably died virgins.
Dostoevsky had a pretty desperate comb-over in some pictures.
Weak-jawed... hmmm... maybe you're on to something there.

He read out loud in the synagogue when he went home, then told everyone that the Scripture he was reading was being fulfilled by him right then and there, so they tried to stone him
>inb4 Luke just added that lol

The Pynch is weak jawed (he barely even has a jaw) and through all the horrible shit in his book, he always comes out as very life affirming.
Still, he's supposted to have been tall as fuck, so it might have balanced things out.

>> No.10828191

>>10826452
Some say he didn't exist and you know people who don't exist don't have much sex. On the other hand he had a public image to protect like Hitler and and had a sex slave hidden somewhere under the table.

Nietzsche was short, practically a virgin and didn't have much of a jaw yet he wrote the purest philosophical works in history.
