John Ruskin
How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.
John Ruskin
Whether we force the man's property from him by pinching his stomach, or pinching his fingers, makes some difference anatomically morally, none whatsoever.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
It is impossible to tell you the perfect sweetness of the lips and closed eyes, nor the solemnity of the seal of death which is set upon the whole figure. It is, in every way, perfect--truth itself, but truth selected with inconceivable refinement of feeling.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
When God shuts a door, He opens a window.
John Ruskin
