The truths of nature are one eternal change, one infinite variety. There is no bush on the face of the globe exactly like another bush; there are no two trees in the forest whose boughs bend into the same network, nor two leaves on the same tree which could not be told one from the other, nor two waves in the sea exactly alike.
John RuskinNo picture can be good which deceives by its imitation, for the very reason that nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John RuskinAnd remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship; or nobly, which is done in pride.
John Ruskin
