Your post reads fine to me. Reading poetry/speeches/well-constructed prose will help most if you're simply unfamiliar with good English but it sounds like that's not really your problem. Just talk to yourself. Formulate your thoughts out loud, make them cohere into a complete, pleasing form, notice when you express them inadequately or can't complete them and try again.

>That facile obsequiousness which attracts the inconsiderate in Belgians, Frenchmen, and Italians, is too generally a mixed product from impudence and insincerity. Want of principle and want of moral sensibility compose the original fundus of southern manners; and the natural product, in a specious hollowness of demeanour, has been afterwards propagated by imitation through innumerable people who may have partaken less deeply, or not at all, in the original moral qualities that have moulded such a manner.

>Confining our notice to people of celebrity, we may say that the House of Socrates (Domus Socratica is the expression of Horace ) were those who next attempted to popularize Greek prose, - viz. the old gentleman himself, the founder of the concern, and his two apprentices, Plato and Xenophon. We acknowledge a sneaking hatred towards the whole household, founded chiefly on the intense feeling we entertain that all three were humbugs. We own the stony impeachment.

Such a fine writer and at the same time a complete English bigot. Move aside, Lovecraft.

Read The Religious/Intellectual Situation of the Present and the Preface to Spinoza's Critique of Religion, by Leo Strauss. How do you have a phd in sociology and come to 4chan with such a retarded question?
