bang_66_ Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Couldn't ignore this thread one more second.Shakespeare's works are UNPARALLELED. No other western fiction writer or philospher wrote about the human disposition as well as he did. Having said that... Goethe's Faust (part uno) is my all time fave, it has life-changing qualities and 'ol that. Not only is it one of the brightest puzzle pieces in the literary universe... it's hilarious as shit.Faust = QUALITY"To understand- and how is that defined? Who dares to give that child its proper name? The few of understanding, vision rare, who veiled not from the herd their hearts, but tried, poor generous fools, to lay their feelings bare, them have men always burnt and crucified."
