If some people really see angels where others see only empty space, let them paint the angels: only let not anybody else think they can paint an angel too, on any calculated principles of the angelic.
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 RuskinThe highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
John RuskinThe greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
