I like the books your teacher reads on the side that they don't tell you about: Hunter S. Thompson, Nietzsche, Ayn Rand's Fountain Head, Charles Bukowski. Scottish/Irish poetry, Beat Era or F. Scott Fitzgerald Era novels. The works of Dante Alighieri.
Through me is the way to the sorrowful city. Through me is the way to eternal suffering. Through me is the way to the lost people. Abandon all hope, you who enter! ~Dante's Inferno, canto 3,1.1
I thought of your beauty, and this arrow, Made out of a wild thought, is in my marrow. There's no man may look upon her, no man, As when newly grown to be a woman, Tall and noble but with face and bosom Delicate in colour as apple blossom. This beauty's kinder, yet for a reason I could weep that the old is out of season. Yeats
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.-Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
AT THE END OF THE GAME, THE KING AND THE PAWN GO BACK IN THE SAME BOX!
