On Seeing Clearly:

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way.

Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see.

To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion - all in one."

from
Modern Painters John Ruskin, 1888
