More From John Ruskin
- "You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion."
- "An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome."
- "It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled."
More In Death

- "It’s very hard to make arguments about the effects of cloning on family relations if family relations are in tatters."― Leon Kass
- "My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning."― Huey Newton
