Isn't this board called literature?

This is the political equivalent of Twilight you've got here.

Those are some powerful delusions you're labouring under son. But it's ok, nothing wrong with being stuck at 15 mentally. If I recall correctly 15 wasn't a bad age.

sup, faggit. i'll humor you. remember i hadn't read the fountainhead for a few years but afterwards i'll admit the book made me think about different points for a while.
her characters weren't realistic at all. or if they are they're the type of people who i'd hate to associate with. i despised how you either agree with her philosophy or you're ensared as a toohey type character who no one wants to be.

i really don't like it when someone tries to get systematic with the nature of good and bad art. or a good life or a bad one. only someone with a twelve year old's ego would think that way.

don't get me wrong. i think an ego is necessary for any art at all to be created but i despise any extreme leaning in individualistic or communal thinking. in order to survive as an adult you need to be both. in order for society to survive as a whole it needs both.


Irony: EVERYONE who reads the fountainhead relates to the supposed rare lone-wolf character roark.

Hi, I'm going to eat the troll bait.
Being that her philosophy is about how to live one's life, how she lived her own is of utmost importance. And hilarity.

We live in a community. We are communal animals. This is not arguable.

So, when she tries to argue otherwise, she fails. Fail fail fail.

For someone who glorified creators and inventors, it is ironic she didn't create anything other than a shallow philosophy and a couple of terrible and simplistic books.

>> No.769995

She also glorified serial killers. No really.
