It is I, alone, who have written all of the reports; who have started the meetings; who have seen to it that the chairman list was signed, properly. It is I who have carried the list, in my pocket, so Liszt, a musician, and others, too, for the matter, would be defeated.

It’s from The Three Christs of Ypsilanti.
Robnost is Rob aka @nostalgebraist . He originated the Tumblr out of context quotes thing.
I like the phrasing of this ask because it (intentionally?) sounds like one of the Four Questions of Passover.
I feel a compulsion to let you all know that I would be posting a lot of #quotes from the porn I read if I weren’t embarrassed to be posting things that, if Googled, would reveal the porn I read

“Do We Really Need to Read Avellaneda?” by James Iffland (PDF link). Avellaneda was the guy who wrote a bad fanfic sequel to Part 1 of Don Quixote, which is widely thought to have inspired Cervantes to write Part 2.
ok, google can’t find this one. source?
It’s from an academic review of David Hawkes’ translation of the first 80 chapters of Story of the Stone. If you have access to JSTOR, you can find it by searching for David Hawkes.
Not long ago, I was asked my opinion of the late-90s series Revolutionary Girl Utena, which some say contains traditionalist themes (but also contains heavy lesbian themes). I had to admit to having never actually seen it, and so resolved, despite receiving some admonitions that it was “degenerate”, to watch at least some of the show.
The essay rob is (jokingly) quoting is ridiculous in a number of ways but I am particularly tickled by his blithe assumption, halfway through a show whose title and much of it’s dialogue predict a revolution, and whose characters frequently clash against the social obligations placed on them, that the homoromantic relationship at it’s centre will remain a non-status-quo-challenging girlhood phase. Perceptive.
(Plus it’s kind of underplaying things to say that british public schools/pre-war japan tolerated teenage homosexuality. Expected would be more accurate. The latter practically printed instruction manuals.
(Also wrong to think of either as a traditional phenomenon rather than a modern reaction to the emergence of adolescence as a social category but if you point out every instance of reactionaries mistaking deprecated modernism for tradition…))
Yes, part of what seemed so strange was the assumption that something literally called “Revolutionary Girl Utena” was going to have the sort of protagonist reactionaries could love.

Researchers found the technique radically altered religious perceptions and prejudice.
Belief in God was reduced almost by a third, while participants became 28.5 per cent less bothered by immigration numbers.
I have to know the context for this!
