If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

1 poem·Since January 2015

Unlike most people you see today, I have no use modern things. I prefer to surround myself with things of the past. Languages and books that seem not to be used or remembered any more. Dante, Nietzsche, J.R. Dobbs, and Orwell. Latin and the ideas and philosophies of Hitler, Lenin and Machiavelli. And maybe, once in a while, I can produce something unique, something purely inspiring.
