If you absolutely had to get a literary tattoo what would it be? I'd go for either "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."; or "History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake." on the forearm.

I would like to get a quote from Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time, but I don't know how it is written in the Russian original (and I've only read it in Spanish). If somebody knows and can share it, I would be eternally greateful. The quote in English is as follows (it's near the end of the :

Perhaps I will die tomorrow, and there won't be anyone left on earth who understands me fully. Some think of me worse, others better, than I really am. Some will say: he was a good fellow; others: he was a scoundrel. And both will be wrong. Is it worth the trouble to live after this?

Even if I didn't find them ugly I would only consider getting a tattoo when I consider myself to have stopped changing as a person, which is never.

How someone thinks it's a good idea to walk around at forty with what a twenty year old would consider cool to scribble on himself is a mystery to me.

Kind of an awkward angle, but its in an awkward spot for pictures

>>7084988
I still like both authors very much. I just don't brood about the pain of existence like a faggot anymore.

My next tattoo will probably be a half sleeve of the chain of being, but commissioned art is already expensive, and that's not even counting the cost of the tattoo.

The Myth of Sisyphus doesn't count as literature?

Well, if you want words, I've been told by two respected tattoo artists not to ever get words.

They fade out and look trashy with time, and having to explain the quote stops being a fun conversation piece after a few years.

Is Plato literature on this board? I'm also planning to get this one - particularly the couple on the far right. It's from Aristophanes' speech about love from The Symposium.

"The football players were winning the game on a child's smartphone across the country as he is walking back to school. There is a new game coming out between the Texans and the Chiefs because white people on the rap station don't highlight their series opener. In other news, the red jerseys and the yellow jerseys are debating Law and Justice in a public conversation with a game-busting jazz solo: the movie. However, according to the History of Labor Day, cartographers are no longer expressing their tireless efforts to make this country great, while they're only ten wins away from victory. Martin Milner, the 83 year old in the front row, watched the cubs weep after signing ten grammatically suspect practice squadrons. Toni Morisson, on the other hand, facepalmed the defiant humans in a timely trade for her third straight win. In early September 1889, Phil Woods, the oil on canvas painter, thought about Slavoj Zizek. Tickets were on sale for the new Nintendo 3DS with univocal impossibility of reading books. The stats confirm it: Black folks don't like to camp as much as white folks. Hanna Arendt, the Burning Man founder, talks about le non-conformisme. Link's dominant performance against Hitler and the Dallas Cowboys made Jacksonville fans grab their Jose Calderon and check out this new Apple campus in Austin. "
