>> No.1428645

"The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out."

Humbert Humbert

"The bad man frowned at the little girl, he was really mad."
-- Thomas Pynchon in Against the Day

I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,
Cock-sucker Aurelius and catamite Furius,
You who think, because my verses
Are delicate, that I am immodest.
For it's right for the devoted poet to be chaste
Himself, but it's not necessary for his verses to be so.
Verses which then have taste and charm,
If they are delicate and sexy,
And can incite an itch,
And I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
Who can't get their flaccid dicks up.
You, because you have read of my thousand kisses,
You think I'm a sissy?
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you.

-Catullus

"You dont know god because god doesnt speak, said the guy. He pressed the hellhot Wesson to the young man's forehead where the blue webwork of veins insticed beneath like the lightning core of a huge marble and pulled the trigger crashing the bullet through his brain where it made stew of memories and screamed out in a redwhite cometstrail. Too deep for you, he said and went back on his jog." -- Cormac McCarthy
