William Faulkner: Nobel Prize Speech

Stockholm, Sweden

December 10, 1950

Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only one question: When will I be blown up?

Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat...

He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, and victories without hope and worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands....

I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

... by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut

Do you realize that all great literature- Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn, A Farewell to Arms, The Scarlet Letter, The Red Badge of Courage, The Illiad, and The Odyssey, Crime and Punishment, The Bible, and "The Charge of the Light Brigade"- are all about what a bummer it is to be a human being?

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

'If you want to understand any woman you must first ask about her mother and then listen carefully.'

Passion comes from the Latin root, Pati.



It means to sufferVery soon he will vanish completely in the wings of his own wordless stanza..."



House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski









For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my excution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me without howls of execration.



- The Stranger, Albert Camus



dif.translations

With death so near, Mother must have felt like someone on the brink of freedom, ready to start life all over again. No one, no one in the world had any right to weep for her. And I, too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope , and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with shouts of hate."



"Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlaying our hard hearts."

-Great Expectations by Charles Dickens



A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

"You are committed to socially acceptable acts, a little machine capable of only good. And I see that clearly - that business about the marginal conditionings. Music and the sexual act, literature and art, all must be a source now not of pleasure but of pain ... But the essential intention is the real sin. A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man."

-A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.





KAVALEROV: You demand a sober approach to life. That's why I'm going to create something patently ridiculous, on purpose. I'll perpetrate a piece of brilliant mischief. On purpose. You want everything to be useful, but I want to be useless. (Pause). For example, I might just finish myself off. (Pause). Without any reason; out of mischievousness. To prove that I have the right to deal with myself any way I please. Namely, to commit a stupid suicide. And right at this very time when so many people are talking about clearness of purpose. Yes, hang myself. (Pause). I'll just hang myself right here in your doorway.

-Olesha, The Conspiracy of Feelings



Elie Wiesel - The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference"

I have never quite understood why people plagiarize and decided to explore this concept more in depth by blatantly plagiarizing.



To do this, I took a book off a shelf, extracted a few sections, and then changed things to fool the reader into thinking that this is my own work. Here is the result.



Homeowner's Complete Outdoor Building Book by John Burton Brimer How to Write Fanfiction by Mahaliem



Woodworking Writing Sex Scenes



What are the Most Needed Tools Elements in Woodworking Writing Sex Scenes?



The most essential tools elements for the amateur woodworker sex scene writer are few in number, but they are indispensable. You will want to add others as the need arises and as your budget plot will permit, but these minimum requirements will be a good base on which to build. Since we, as human beings, are inclined to lose our senses a bit when we are confronted by the tempting displays of the hardware shops ideas of smut, a word of caution may be in order before we launch this discussion. That word is: go slowly in buying tools writing sex scenes; be sure you know what you need; and make certain you get your money's worth when buying it make it extremely hot and satisfying.



читать дальшеBy that we do not mean to have you seek out only bargains write only hot wild monkey sex – although no one is averse to taking advantage of a true bargain smut scene when it is offered. Instead, what we mean is that good tools sex scenes of honest value emotion – because they are made of good steel storylines and superior quality hardwood characterization and other high quality materials ideas - good tools cost a bit more sex scenes are harder to write than tools sex scenes whose makers writers have skimped on quality in order to produce at a low price a quickie. But in the long view, tools sex scenes of good quality will outlast any others because they are made of fine materials created from the story, so in the end they become the most economical intense. Certainly the basic or minimum list of tools elements of sex scenes should include the very best tools elements you can afford write – or a little better.



Hammer and Saw Cocks and Hands



Perhaps the natural beginning will be a hammer cock and a saw hand for many of the projects scenes outlined and detailed in this book can be done with only these two indispensable tools. A good hammer cock is to be prized – one that is well balanced, has a good steel head neither too heavy large nor too light small, one with a handle shaft which can be easily grasped by the hand of the home craftsman partner. Try out View several in the shop where you trade at a porn site, if it has a sufficiently large stock from which to choose, selecting the one which fits your hand character and is right for your purpose story. Test the all-steel hammers Try writing about cocks which have a molded rubber or plastic grip foreskin (or uncut) to see if that type pleases you more than the conventional wooden-handled hammers cut cocks.



You'll probably find the 10- to 16-ounce 5 – 9 inch curved claw hammer cock the most useful, the curving claws being well adapted to extracting bent nails screams. (It is also known as the nailing hammer cock.) If you need a second hammer cock, consider the straight-claw hard as a rock type, also called a ripping hammer OMG cock, which is particularly useful for tearing apart woodwork and boards fastened together the sheets sex scenes. Don't buy write a heavy hammer monster cock. It will tire you out your characters and you'll regret it. On the other hand, one which is too light small will use more of your energy in performing the tasks convincing the reader that it is achieving the results for which you use it, and it, too will be fatiguing. A good medium-weight sized hammer cock is the best answer.



- - -



At this point, I realized that despite my best efforts to disguise it, the true narration shone through. Therefore, I abandoned the effort before attempting to alter anything else, including the power tools section.



In conclusion - After the entire experiment, I am more confused than ever as to why someone would plagiarize. It seems like it would be much easier to write your own story.

Why should she give her bounty to the dead?

What is divinity if it can come

Only in silent shadows and in dreams?

Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,

In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else

In any balm or beauty of the earth,

Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?

Fandom is really all about the sharing and the enjoying, in the end, reallyThey just want to write a story and share it, they don't really care if you thought something was worded badly or if you didn't like the ending. They wrote it because it was fun and they wanted to share it with people who might also enjoy it.



I think you have to be very careful with criticism. Some people absolutely love it and want it; other people really don't. Once again, it gets back to what a person is doing in fandom and what a person is doing writing fanfiction. For some it's really just participating in the dialogue, not trying to be the best writer ever.



While I understand your frustration, I think we have to be careful not to mistake our own purposes for other people's. We also need to stop privileging the "real writers" who want line by line concrit and looking down on those who are just having fun with it. There's nothing wrong with having fun with it, right?



I don't think accessibility gives everyone the right to do what they want with something, though

But at the bottom of the premise here is the assumption that people post things in order to get your help in getting better, and that's not always the point. But I respect the fact that some people just don't really care to "get better". They just want to write and share and have fun. It took me a while to understand, watching someone write 40 odd chapters of a fic that was so awful even a summary of the plot made me retch. Why is she doing this? Why is she writing this awful, awful fic? Well, because she enjoys it, that's why. And who am I to tell her to fix it? It's the way she likes it. Different strokes and all that.

I do think it's legitimate feedback; it's feedback from someone who read the story, enjoyed it, and wanted to say so, but doesn't really want to turn it into an intellectual pursuit. I think that's okay. Writing concrit is work, and none of us get paid to do this fanfiction thing. I personally don't expect anyone to do extra work when they read something I wrote, unless it's person who has agreed to be a beta reader for me. Everyone else gets to take what they want from it and do as they will. That includes critiquing, flaming, con crit, or squeeing.

Dver_v_letoТо, что называется "фэндомом", конструктивной лит. критики, по-моему, не заслуживает, и не столько в силу низкого худ. уровня представленных вещей, сколько в силу искаженной мотивации. Грубо говоря, если я пляшу на дискотеке, а меня кто-то возьмется прямо в процессе пляски обучать классическим па, это как бы, ну... ну, портит кайф, как минимум. И неважно совсем, как я пляшу. Важно, что делаю это а) за свои кровные деньги б) в своё личное свободное время и в) всем вокруг тоже ХОРОШО

A soldier who has been mortally wounded...



About the imageBraving the streets amid sniper fire, to offer last rites to the dying, the priest encountered a wounded soldier, who pulled himself up by clinging to the priest's cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. Rondуn Lovera, who had to lie flat to avoid getting shot, later said that he was unsure how he managed to take this picture.
