John RuskinLife being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.
John RuskinAnother of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station... There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads... Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work.
John Ruskin
