“For, granting that one is a person, one has necessarily also the philosophy of one’s personality; there is, however, an important distinction here. With the one it is his defects which philosophize, with the other it is with his riches and powers. The former requires his philosophy, whether it be as support, sedative, or medicine, as salvation, elevation, or self-alienation; with the latter it is merely a fine luxury, at best the voluptuousness of a triumphant gratitude.”

-Friedrich Nietzsche

The world is a garden and it feels good to love <3 I paint for these ideas and the rest is light and shadow.
