Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.
John RuskinOur duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future.
John RuskinIt is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.
John RuskinWill you not covet such power as this, and seek such throne as this, and be no more housewives, but queens? There is no putting by that crown; queens you must always be; queens to your lovers; queens to your husbands and sons; queens of higher mystery to the world beyond. . . . But alas! you are too often idle and careless queens, grasping at majesty in the least things, while you abdicate it in the greatest.
John Ruskin
