AND ITS THE MOST ANTIQUE LITERARY MOVEMENT. IT WAS PRODUCED
IN THE ANCIENT GREEK AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE. ITS CALLED

THE MAIN TITLE AND HAVE HAD POLITHEIST TENDENCIES.

THIS MOVEMENT IS CHARACTERIZED BY I POOR FAME OF THE AUTHORS,
IT WAS COMMON TO SEE WRITTERS SHARING CREDITS OF HIS TITLES

PROCLAIM IT AS AN OWN TITLE.

by the church, who was the most

CONTEMPORARY: QUOTES
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening
inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself. Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis.
I love the one whose soul is overfull so that he forgets himself, and all things are in
him; i love the one who has a free spirit and a free heart: thus his head is only the
entrails of his heart, but his heart drives him to go under.- Friedrich Nietzche, Thus
Spoke Zarathustra.
