sologdin Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 walking wombs to give birth to the really important characters very nietzschean: Quote Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution—it is called pregnancy. Man is for woman a means: the purpose is always the child. But what is woman for man? Two different things wanteth the true man: danger and diversion. Therefore wanteth he woman, as the most dangerous plaything. Man shall be trained for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior: all else is folly. Too sweet fruits—these the warrior liketh not. Therefore liketh he woman;—bitter is even the sweetest woman. Better than man doth woman understand children, but man is more childish than woman. In the true man there is a child hidden: it wanteth to play. Up then, ye women, and discover the child in man! A plaything let woman be, pure and fine like the precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come. Let the beam of a star shine in your love! Let your hope say: “May I bear the Superman!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Invictus Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 They are very different. AWOIAF expands on the world of ASOIAF, The silmarillion is essentially the tale of how Middle Earth came to be, its the equivalent of Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
