Hey everybody. I've always been an avid reader, and recently decided that I'm going to persue some kind of literary major in college (currently enrolled as a music major). Thought I'd join a literature forum as an outlet for that facet of my personality, as I don't have many friends that share my love for books. Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say!
By the way, the "e" in my name (Joseph) was purposely omitted from my username, because "JosephTheGodless" was one letter over the limit. :rolleyes:
Another note on my username in case anyone is interested; it was inspired by a passage from Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". The passage reads as follows:
And when I call out: "Curse all the cowardly devils in you, that would fain whimper and fold the hands and adore"--then do they shout: "Zarathustra is godless."
And especially do their teachers of submission shout this;--but precisely in their ears do I love to cry: "Yea! I AM Zarathustra, the godless!"
Those teachers of submission! Wherever there is aught puny, or sickly, or scabby, there do they creep like lice; and only my disgust preventeth me from cracking them.
Well! This is my sermon for THEIR ears: I am Zarathustra the godless, who saith: "Who is more godless than I, that I may enjoy his teaching?"
I am Zarathustra the godless: where do I find mine equal? And all those are mine equals who give unto themselves their Will, and divest themselves of all submission.
I am Zarathustra the godless! I cook every chance in MY pot. And only when it hath been quite cooked do I welcome it as MY food."
