For now luxury can be enjoyed only by those ignorant of the suffering behind it
Drawn from what John Ruskin said
What John Ruskin actually said
- John Ruskin English art critic and social thinker (1819 to 1900)
Luxury is indeed possible in the future—innocent and exquisite: luxury for all, and by the help of all; but luxury at present can only be enjoyed by the ignorant; the cruelest man living could not sit at his feast, unless he sat blindfold.
