Famous quotes containing the words ruskin and/or square:

    Taste is the only morality.... Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    I walked by the Union Square Bar, I was gonna go in. And I saw myself, my reflection in the window. And I thought, “I wonder who that bum is.” And then I saw it was me. Now look at me, I’m a bum. Look at me. Look at you. You’re a bum.
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)
