Famous quotes containing the words ruskin and/or house:

    “No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “To have no son, no wife,
    No house or land still seemed quite natural.
    Only a numbness registered the shock
    Of finding out how much had gone of life,
    How widely from the others.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
