John Ruskin

John Ruskin
The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God to him who does not search it out, darkness to him who does, infinity.
John Ruskin
Variety is a positive requisite even in the character of our food.
John Ruskin
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
John Ruskin
I am far more provoked at being thought foolish by foolish people, than pleased at being thought sensible by sensible people and the average proportion of the numbers of each is not to my advantage.
John Ruskin
I would rather teach drawing that my pupils may learn to love nature, than teach the looking at nature that they may learn to draw.
John Ruskin
