>Balzac, Honoré de. Mediocre. Fakes realism with easy platitudes.
>Camus, Albert. Dislike him. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me. Awful.
>Céline, Louis-Ferdinand. Second-rate. A tense-looking but really very loose type of writing.
>Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously. The Double. His best work, though an obvious and shameless imitation of Gogol's "Nose." The Brothers Karamazov. Dislike it intensely. Crime and Punishment. Dislike it intensely. Ghastly rigmarole.
>Eliot, T. S. Not quite first-rate.
>Freud, Sigmund. A figure of fun. Loathe him. Vile deceit. Freudian interpretation of dreams is charlatanic, and satanic, nonsense.
>James, Henry. Dislike him rather intensely, but now and then his wording causes a kind of electric tingle. Certainly not a genius.
>Lawrence, D. H. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. Mediocre. Fakes realism with easy platitudes. Execrable.
>Marx, Karl. Loathe him.
>Pound, Ezra. Definitely second-rate. A total fake. A venerable fraud.
>Sartre, Jean-Paul. Even more awful than Camus.

>>13596460
And because you're the ultimate authority on what symbols mean, and not how they're ultimately used. Symbols cannot change, and they always mean what they originally mean, which is why a cross is only meant to mean a form of execution and nothing more. Because symbols cannot be change through societal use.
