The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

The need of expansion is as g...

The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

For the creation of a masterwork of literature two powers must concur, the power of the man and the power of the moment, and the man is not enough without the moment.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Nature, with equal mind, Sees all her sons at play, Sees man control the wind, The wind sweep man away.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Still bent to make some port ...

Still bent to make some port he knows not where, still standing for some false impossible shore.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion, the passion for sweetness and light.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

The true meaning of religion ...

The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.

Once read thy own breast right, And thou hast done with fears.

Not deep the poet sees, but wide.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Our inequality materializes our upper class, vulgarizes our middle class, brutalizes our lower class.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

One thing only has been lent ...

One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common--discontent.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Culture, then, is a study of perfection, and perfection which insists on becoming something rather than in having something, in an inward condition of the mind and spirit, not in an outward set of circumstances.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

I do not believe today everything I believed yesterday I wonder will I believe tomorrow everything I believe today.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

One must, I think, be struck ...

One must, I think, be struck more and more the longer one lives, to find how much in our present society a man's life of each day depends for its solidity and value upon whether he reads during that day, and far more still on what he reads during it.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

But often, in the world’s mos...

But often, in the world’s most crowded streets, But often, in the din of strife, There rises an unspeakable desire After the knowledge of our buried life; A thirst to spend our fire and restless force In tracking out our true, original course; A longing to inquire Into the mystery of this heart which beats So wild, so deep in us—to know Whence our lives come and where they go.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

At the present moment two thi...

At the present moment two things about the Christian religion must surely be clear to anybody with eyes in his head. One is, that men cannot do without it; the other, that they cannot do with it as it is.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

However, if I shall live to be eighty I shall probably be the only person left in England who reads anything but newspapers and scientific publications.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

If there ever comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Dreams dawn and fly: friends ...

Dreams dawn and fly: friends smile and die, Like spring flowers. Our vaunted life is one long funeral. Men dig graves, with bitter tears, For their dead hopes; and all, Mazed with doubts, and sick with fears, Count the hours.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes
