Additional quotes by John Ruskin

A book worth reading is worth owning.

Modern science gives lectures on botany, to show there is no such thing as a flower; on humanity, to show there is no such thing as a man; and on theology, to show there is no such thing as a God. No such thing as a man, but only a mechanism, No such thing as a God, but only a series of forces.

One can't be angry when one looks at a Penguin
