John Ruskin

"The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most."

"All that is good in art is the expression of one soul talking to another and is precious according to the greatness of the soul that utters it."

"Sunshine is delicious rain is refreshing wind braces us up snow is exhilarating there is really no such thing as bad weather only different kinds of good weather."

"Absolute and entire ugliness is rare."

"Reading and writing are not education if they do not help people to be kind to all creatures."

"The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions."
