Please send your story of encountering Ruskin to the webmaster for inclusion here — George P. Landow
“And so,” someone asks a new arrival: “Why, for you, Ruskin?” Various answers are given, of course. It is quite marvelous to hear the differences. But when I heard that question the first time, these thoughts sprang immediately to mind. I thought: “Well, it’s because he tells me the truth, the truth I should have known long ago; it’s because he inspires me; it’s because he gives me more life.” — Jim Spates
