This one's mine.

"They use me like they use the potato in Europe - my flower and fruit (humour and jokes) are picked, my root-bulb (philosophy) is thrown away."

I love how snarky and self reitious the liberal specimen sounds

>when you try to get some good commentary on an author's work from the man himself but he's just interested in cool one-liners for those sweet virtue points

inb4 so it goes

and it isn't like Game of Thrones is a masterpiece of feminism, it's basically porn with dragons in it. to liberals 'strong female characters'= femdom

>virtue signal about how much you respect women
>write all of your female characters as basically masturbatory aids
being a rich liberal really allows you to have the best of both world

>write all of your female characters as basically masturbatory aids
Can you be more wrong than this?

>he's just interested in cool one-liners for those sweet virtue points
what, did you expect the GoT author to have something profound to say?

>this triggers the Schopenhauer fags

>implying game of thrones isn't pure wank material

The TV series is, the books have their fair share of sex scenes, but they're relatively few and far apart given the length of each book.

>pink
>fat
>mast

>the more she drank the more she shat

“Women, for their part, are always complaining that we raise them only to be vain and coquettish, that we keep them amused with trifles so that we may more easily remain their masters; they blame us for the faults we attribute to them. What stupidity! And since when is it men who concern themselves with the education of girls? Who is preventing the mothers from raising them as they please? There are no schools for girls—what a tragedy! Would God, there were none for boys! They would be raised more sensibly and more straightforwardly. Is anyone forcing your daughters to waste their time on foolish trifles? Are they forced against their will to spend half their lives on their appearance, following your example? Are you prevented from instructing them, or having them instructed according to your wishes? Is it our fault if they please us when they are beautiful, if their airs and graces seduce us, if the art they learn from you attracts and flatters us, if we like to see them tastefully attired, if we let them display at leisure the weapons with which they subjugate us? Well then, decide to raise them like men; the men will gladly agree; the more women want to resemble them, the less women will govern them, and then men will truly be the masters.”
People truly ought to realize SJWs are a boon to men.

Moron?

>he considers women to be people
Edgy

>self reitious
Holy shit, the irony of the Trumptard acting condescending, like liberals are an inferior species, and then bastardizing "self-righteous."

>People truly ought to realize SJWs are a boon to men.
You assume SJW = equality.
It's just preferential to women. they don't become more like man, they don't compete with men. They have their quotas,special programs, preference in court and whatnot.
They fear true equality.

You speak like someone who has never met a woman in your life.

Not an argument.

Yes, you do not have the evidence to formulate an argument.

>They have their quotas,special programs, preference in court and whatnot.
How is it incorrect?

How would you know any of these things?
First off, provide evidence that what you're saying is true. Now.

Oh, the double irony! A liberal still so buttmad muh Klumpf won that they gulp down obvious bait like it's their wifes boyfriends semen

Oh, the triple irony! A Trumper still so buttmad muh Klumpf lost the popular vote that they gulp down obvious bait like it's their wifes boyfriends semen

Is that you, Amy Schumer?

What a fat smug piece of shit

>Women are like children, only grown up — Wilkie Collins

Is one of my favorite authorial quotes, especially in the context of his popularity among female readers

Is that you, Amy Schumer?

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning.

LMAO why would any Trump voter be buttmad that a botched vote-rigging resulted in the victory outcome for Trump that most triggers leftshits like yourself? He's president and he's going to be president and leader of the Free world for EIGHT YEARS and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT XDD

>You assume SJW = equality.
Egalitarians in Athens killed Socrates (he thought different), egalitarians in France killed the king (he was born to the wrong caste), egalitarians massacred millions in Soviet Union and World War 2...
SJWs are egalitarians. They just want equality in hell, in the depths they reside in. Everything must suffer, what else?
>You are a white male, and we don't believe you have suffered enough to fulfill our equality quota!
People in hell don't ask to get out, they ask others to go in.

I'll give you some quotes, OP. These aren't necessarily my favorites, but I like them.

>"The author of an atrocious undertaking ought to imagine that he has already accomplished it, ought to impose upon himself a future as irrevocable as the past." - Jose Luis Borges

>"I grow old ...I grow old ...I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled." - T.S. Eliot

>"Did we falter when love took us with a gust of great desire? Does the barley bid the wind wait in His course?" - Sappho

>"All that man esteems endures a moment or a day...Whatever flames upon the night, Man's own resinous heart has fed." - W.B. Yeats

This is a joke post, I assume?

I assume.

>google "light treason"
>one of the first suggestions is "light treason trump"
Interesting.

Hm.

>Women are like children, only grown up

So are men. Adults are big babies.

not sure if you are just trolling at this point but goddamn it, you are so blue pilled that you can't be considered a white knight, you're straight a blue knight.

You probably don't even realize that redpilled and bluepilled are references to a children's movie made by "trannies" as you call them.

This.

>Yo soy de los que creen que el ser humano está condenado de antemano a la derrota, a la derrota sin apelaciones, pero que hay que salir y dar la pelea y darla, además, de la mejor forma posible, de cara y limpiamente, sin pedir cuartel (porque además no te lo darán), e intentar caer como un valiente, y que eso es nuestra victoria.

Sums up his whole work pretty well too

For the uninitiated, I used my superior translation technique to decipher this. Here you go.

>I am one of those who believe that the human being is condemned in advance to defeat, to defeat without appeals, but that we must go out and give the fight and give it, in the best possible way, face and cleanly, without Ask for barracks (because they will not give it to you), and try to fall like a brave, and that is our victory.

>face and cleanly, without Ask for barracks

>make one great movie
>start transitioning
>movies become trash
like pottery

>Matrix
>great
Get this pleb off Veeky Forums, NOW.

>wants authors to do extended explaination of their works
pseud

>only like what I like please
grow up

>Sometimes, when I listen to these people talking, and still more when I read their books, I get the impression that, to them, the whole Socialist movement is no more than a kind of exciting heresy-hunt — a leaping to and fro of frenzied witch-doctors to the beat of tom-toms and the tune of ‘Fee fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of a right-wing deviationist!’ It is because of this kind of thing that it is so much easier to feel yourself a Socialist when you are among working-class people. The working-class Socialist, like the working-class Catholic, ‘s weak on doctrine and can hardly open his mouth without uttering a heresy, but he has the heart of the matter in him. He does grasp the central fact that Socialism means the overthrow of tyranny, and the ‘Marseillaise’, if it were translated for his benefit, would appeal to him more deeply than any learned treatise on dialectical materialism.

Go back to /pol/ with your LARPing and children's memes.

From William Faulkner's interview with the Paris Review's Art of Fiction. I'm not even going to look it up, this is from memory:

"Success is feminine and like a woman. If you cringe before her, she will override you. The way to treat her, then, is to show her the back of your hand. Then she will do the crawling."

He said almost the same thing a time or two in the archives of his lectures/Q&As at Virginia.

I wonder if liberal and progressive people will ever realize that their values are merely temporal chauvinism, and that in 40-50 years, they won't be talking the same way.

But Martin is an inclusive guy! He writes all the male characters as masturbatory aids, too!

I'm sure people were saying the same thing 50 years ago.

What the fuck? Is he interacting with people on... LiveJournal?

Side note, they did cast a pretty handsome guy as Sandor.

>Is he interacting with people on...
...his blog. Look it up.

Yeah, which is the problem with progressivism tbqh.

Progressives are really just status quo radicals, e.g whatever is outside the status quo in a specific time and space must be good, ethically.

...

The Thirty Tyrants were not egalitarians you livid fuck, and Socrates died because of complex political backbiting more than any ideological reason. Read a goddamn book.

>no responses

pure idelogoy

They never respond when they're called out on their bullshit. Typical, really.

Which is clearly hosted via LiveJournal, idiot. I recognize that format.

I RECOGNIZE THAT BULGE!

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

― C.S. Lewis

>dangerous is attractive
So glad women are finally starting to admit this openly

O... M... G. This is SO true. Women really are people!

I know, right. I can't wait until Klompfald Brumpf gets impeached. Then we can finally have a smart, qualified female president!

Face it, there's a new bombshell dropped in the Russia investigation every week. This isn't going to just go away, as much as you want it to. And Trump hasn't accomplished a single thing since he took office. It's brilliant. You elected a complete buffoon that has left the country the same way it was under Obama.

>Face it, there's a new bombshell dropped in the Russia investigation every week
>obummer wasn't born in merica goddangit
>And Trump hasn't accomplished a single thing since he took office
He has, you just don't like what he has done.

>He has, you just don't like what he has done.
What has he done? I'd love to see the list of all those accomplishments, such as...................

So when is he going to imprison Killary like he said he would? When is he going to get the Wall started?

If he can't even imprison his chief rival, how can we believe anything about him?

>defeated isis
>cancelled tpp
>cracked down on opiate peddling crook doctors
>reversed obama's trend of letting in random muslim "refugees" and now the majority of refugees are christians from oppressive islamist states
>got rid of bogus "start up visa" which was just a way for rich chinese to buy legal status

dude has done a lot, it's just you don't notice because the day isis was destroyed the judaic media played up this russia shit to keep it off the front page, i guess they were mad that after the mossad wasted all that time building up daesh trump smashed it in four months

LMAO HOLY SHIT. You really think he "defeated" ISIS just by dropping a bomb on some of them? Are you retarded?

>refugee thing
You know his travel ban still has not gone into effect, right?

did you just miss the fact that the Iraqi army just captured Mosul this week which had served as the capital of the Islamic state?

nytimes.com/2017/07/10/world/middleeast/iraq-mosul-celebration.html

And refugees have nothing to do with the "travel ban", they just realize that Christians are more in danger in Islamic dumps that

maybe you should try reading at least "respectable" liberal journalism instead of getting your news from jewish comedy shows

Who the hell eats potato flowers and fruits and throws away the thing that we actually call the potato? The fruits are poisonous, by the way. And Frigyes was European, what the fuck was he taking about?

I already wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. am I old?

I fucking lost it at this

Not him but eh, let's see, my country's first lady was a pedophile and nothing happened.

And you still haven't provided any evidence.

And his other points, user? Are you just going to nitpick one specific thing, like the pseud you are?

...

'On my grave I just want this epitaph: NO'

Does the name Macron ring a bell ?
His wife was his teacher and she started to date him when he was 16.
In France, being a teacher is considered as aggravating circumstances. Nothing happened and she is the first lady of France.
While some politician named DSK was evicted from the last elections because of the muddiest sex offending suspicion case ever seen.

In Florida, most female teachers having affairs with male pupils have low charges against them.

they didn't really date until he graduated, I thought?

When potato was first introduced into agriculture, people didn't really understand which part was supposed to be eaten. (or the myth says so)
It's essentially about how people think of him as the "funny guy" who wrote all those parodies of other writers, even though he wrote other stuff too and not just parodies. He wanted people to look behind the "funny guy" image.

"En mai 1993, dans l'atelier de théâtre qu'elle anime au lycée La Providence, elle remarque Emmanuel Macron, alors âgé de quinze ans et élève de seconde dans la même classe que sa fille Laurence29,30,15,31,3,23. L'année suivante, ils tombent amoureux32,31. "

It means he was 15 when they met, and they fell in love the next year. Documented with videos of the couple.

Nice source, I like how you provided evidence and didn't just type up a story.

Oh shit! I just found out some interesting information about you. Apparently, many people are saying that you are in favor of Sharia law. Wow, that's quite an allegation, but since many are saying it, it must be true.

The age of consent is 15 in France, do you really think I believe it's your country when you don't even know that?

Source here

There are no videos in that link.

Surbodination doesn't involve age of consent.

Are you retarded ? There are superscript numbers you can click...

check the Wikipedia references. also
is right. it's unusual but not illegal. even if the genders were flipped it would only be creepy to some

Case. Closed.

What else are you supposed to ask him, the weather forecasting in Nigeria?

Stunted kids like you project themselves into every word they read. The only conclusion thus is that you can never truly read anything.
How does that make you feel? Like a pseud?

"The worst part is wondering how you'll find the strength tomorrow to go on
doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long, where you'll
find the strength for all that stupid running around, those projects that come to
nothing, those attempts to escape from crushing necessity, which always founder
and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable, that
every night will find you down and out, crushed by the dread of more and more
sordid and insecure tomorrows."
Celine - Journey to the end of the night

I'm on your side, kid. I can't wait to Jumpfald Zumpf gets impeached. I knew he was a Russian agent all along. He's like a James Bond villain! I can't wait until we finally have our first female president!

Anybody have that coopypasta of how GRRM writes his books?
