Quotes by John Ruskin
- Nearly all the powerful people of this age are unbelievers, the best of them in doubt and misery, the most in plodding hesitation, doing as well as they can, what practical work lies at hand.
- No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
- No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
- No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.
- No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
- No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
- No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
