The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John RuskinBread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book.
John RuskinMake yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us knows what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thought-proof against all adversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us.
John Ruskin
