So i recently did a nude shoot and uploaded a tasteful image of a female nude body... firstly i get a billion hits.. whereas normal pictures get far fewer.... secondly i get quite a few people favouriting the image.. so naturally i go to take a look to see who has added the image only to find that there are people who use the nude section of deviant art as a place to find good jerk-off material and have no interest in photographjy what-so-ever... now i dont want some retard wanki9ng away to my photos thank you very much... so the image has been deleted and I will remember to never add nude pics on deviant art again..
and here i was being naive thinking people here were interested in art.. hah

"Tao is the source of ten thousand things.
It is the treasure of the good person, and the refuge of the bad.
Sweet words can buy honour;
Good deeds can gain respect.
If someone is bad. do not abandon them.
Therefore on the day the emperor is crowned,
Or the three officers of state installed,
Do not send a gift of jade and a team of horses,
But remain still and offer the Tao.
Why does everyone like the Tao so much at first?
Isn't it because you find what you seek and are forgiven when you sin?
Therefore this is the greatest treasure in the universe."
-Tao Te Ching, Chapter Sixty-Two

"But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke
only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered -not a feather then he fluttered-
Till I scarecly more than muttered 'Other friends have flown before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said 'Nevermore.'
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken..........
But the Raven still be guiling all my fancy into smiling.....

"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty." Hume, David (1711-76)
