Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs. – John Ruskin
The great cry that rises from all our manufacturing cities, louder than the furnace blast, is all in very deed for this — that we manufacture everything there except men. – John Ruskin
We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it. – John Ruskin
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent. – John Ruskin
I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society.

Sometimes that questioning leads to something more. – Alice Englert
