This IS a secret...in a way. Most people don't know how true this is...how to make light win over that darkness. If you're depressed all the time, and never try to be happy, you're just digging yourself a deeper hole!

Art is anything that moves or makes a person feel something!
Love this!

can't agree more with you halcyonConserve. so what if it's not incredible "omg, jaw-dropping" artwork. The quote is a response to the original secret teller and it clearly expresses the light and dark side that has to do with the quote and how the ST was feeling. Gosh.

I don't mind the art, I just really hate the quote for some reason. People and the choices they make can't really judged as being "good" or "evil".

This is part of the reason I dislike the whole secrets thing.



Stuff like this gets on the front page. No offense, but this isn't front page material. There are many artists on DA who actually make art, and many of them are VERY good. They deserve to be on the front page.

the quotes overused and has been passed around the internet all over, guess its back, and well the image quality could have been well better i personally don't think it should be on the front page but to each his own

To be frank, this bothers me.
This made it to most popular quite fast, and I don't know how.
This lacks skill and lacks good font choice, plus it takes a Facebook 'like' that wasn't even creatively made and uses it.
There is no absolute Good and Evil inside of us. If people were either good OR evil, as this post conveys, everyone would be like Mother Theresa or Hitler, nothing in between.

Pilotslover In reply to Nimbus-grey [2012-07-18 10:44:21 +0000 UTC]

Quite so.

People aren't good and evil, people are 'shades of grey' regardless of how they think of themselves.

CelestialDrake In reply to Nimbus-grey [2012-07-18 00:16:55 +0000 UTC]

Yea, it bothers me too. Anyone can get stories and quotes like this off of Google. There are artists on DA who actually make art, and they should be on the front page, not stuff like this.

Addictlove In reply to Cyraina [2012-07-17 23:42:25 +0000 UTC]

the secret teller wasn't claiming the quote as his or her own. He or she was using it in a way to which many others can relate to, by using a well-known quote...

Pretty stupid. You can't just divide the whole human psyche into "light and dark".

It's more like good choices and bad choices rather than the whole human psyche.

SortLogik In reply to NinjaPockyHunter [2012-07-17 23:40:30 +0000 UTC]

So "light and dark" as in how people view you as a person? Emotions aren't as simple as "like" and "dislike". Nothing in humanity is as simple as that.

NinjaPockyHunter In reply to SortLogik [2012-07-18 00:39:06 +0000 UTC]

I never said it was that simple. This quote can be looked at in so many different ways I could sit here all day talking about it.

SortLogik In reply to NinjaPockyHunter [2012-07-18 13:34:07 +0000 UTC]

Tell me how a term that is used to describe things completely different from each other... opposites, can have any form of complexity? This sounds like the garbage they feed people in anime.

The quote on the end of that is the key part to me -

"The Strong man is not the one who can overpower others. Rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he gets angry."
- Prophet Mohammed

Lovely quote.

Why does something have to be pretty to be powerful?

I love this, and just because the person didn't have five million years in art school and drew some bad dogs, made a poor choice in font, and made the graphic a bit too small, doesn't mean that it's not amazing. I want to thank whoever made this, because even if you didn't come up with the quote yourself or responded with some peoples 'me too', you might have helped them. And I know you've helped me.

Nimbus-grey In reply to SanitySurrenders [2012-07-17 23:51:18 +0000 UTC]

Because this is an art site, not a site for sharing Facebook quotes and sharing what other people feel via poor paint drawings.

SanitySurrenders In reply to Nimbus-grey [2012-07-18 02:13:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, an art site. Just because art is bad doesn't make it not art.

Honestly, I always pictures art as an escape. Somewhere you could leave and never come back and be able to calm down and figure yourself out.

Not a place for judgmental brats.

Pilotslover In reply to SanitySurrenders [2012-07-18 11:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Pictures are escape is fine and dandy but there's no need to post such things on the internet ...

There should be a difference between the art you will show others and that which you use to vent.

SanitySurrenders In reply to Pilotslover [2012-07-18 11:17:03 +0000 UTC]

Why should there be? Aren't the ones used to vent so much more powerful?

Pilotslover In reply to SanitySurrenders [2012-07-18 11:19:57 +0000 UTC]

If it's done in the right manner, sure, this however isn't vent art.

Nimbus-grey In reply to SanitySurrenders [2012-07-18 02:23:59 +0000 UTC]

Look I understand that, when I was 13 I drew this [link] and thought it was amazing.
But my problem is not the fact that it is or isn't art. It's the fact that ameture art that used someone elses words made it on the front page of DA.

So while you think I am acting so high and mighty due to the brilliance of my own work, you are wrong, which, in response makes you judgmental of me.

an art sight, lol obviously it was intended for MORE than art, dear.

Thats why they give you different categories to choose from, and that's also why they let you upload animations, (3d, 2d,1d, whichever) and stories, document files

I know, I've been here for years longer than you have. But this piece of artwork is ameture at best, and frankly in my opinion does not deserve to be on the front page. Nothing about this is creative, and creativity is what art is.
