"All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul." ― John Ruskin Topic(s): Art Tags: great More From John Ruskin "Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation." "The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education." "No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds." More In Art "In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this – death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper."― Terry Pratchett "My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them."― Marco Rubio "Men’s magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women’s magazines also often feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day."― Richard Roeper
