John Ruskin
  • You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil buy it, by compromise with evil.

  • To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

  • It is written on the arched sky it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.

  • The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

  • Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
