in reference to Sartre.

[spiderpig]

A line I particularly liked while I was typing out references to be used in my Romanticism essay. (I do like Byronic heroes. I like heroes. Yes. That's it. I like the whole heroic adventure, the struggle, it makes me feel better that man is fighting against a larger something.)

For we are surrounded by mirrors, walled in by contradictory images of ourselves.

-Brombert, "Sartre: The Intellectual as 'Impossible Hero'", The Hero in Literature

Finished gathering notes from one of my research books. On to studying for tomorrow's midterm! (And then more hunting and gathering from 6 more other books for 2 essays due on Tuesday. I am dead.)
