“But he who is hated by the people, as the wolf by the dogs- is the free spirit, the enemy of fetters, the non-adorer, the dweller in the woods.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 30. The Famous Wise Ones (via theundergroundmonolith)

Deep River Blues - Doc Watson
In Honor of one of the most incredible guitarists ever, Doc Watson (March 3, 1923 – May 29, 2012).
“…a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell—mouths mercy, and invented hell—mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man’s acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor abused slave to worship him! …”
—Mark Twain, No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger (via buynewsoul)
“For each ecstatic instant
We must an anguish pay
In keen and quivering ratio
To the ecstasy.” —Emily Dickinson, from “Life: XXXVII” (via litverve)
