So with this Earthly Paradise...

So with this Earthly Paradise it is, If ye will read aright, and pardon me, Who strive to build a shadowy isle of bliss Midmost the beating of the steely sea.

William Morris 119 quotes

What is an artist but a workm...

What is an artist but a workman who is determined that, whatever else happens, his work shall be excellent?

William Morris 119 quotes

It is the childlike part of us that produces works of the imagination. When we were children time passed so slow with us that we seemed to have time for everything.

William Morris 119 quotes

There is no excuse for doing ...

There is no excuse for doing anything which is not strikingly beautiful.

William Morris 119 quotes

Do not be afraid of large pat...

Do not be afraid of large patterns, if properly designed they are more restful to the eye than small ones: on the whole, a pattern where the structure is large and the details much broken up is the most useful...very small rooms, as well as very large ones, look better ornamented with large patterns.

William Morris 119 quotes

It has become an article of the creed of modern morality that all labour is good in itself -- a convenient belief to those who live on the labour of others. But as to those on whom they live, I recommend them not to take it on trust, but to look into the matter a little deeper.

William Morris 119 quotes

Nothing should be made by man...

Nothing should be made by man's labour which is not worth making, or which must be made by labour degrading to the makers.

William Morris 119 quotes

Beauty, which is what is mean...

Beauty, which is what is meant by art, using the word in its widest sense, is, I contend, no mere accident to human life, which people can take or leave as they choose, but a positive necessity of life.

William Morris 119 quotes

It took me years to understan...

It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.

William Morris 119 quotes

The reward of labour is life....

The reward of labour is life. Is that not enough?

William Morris 119 quotes

I want a real revolution, a real change in society: society, a great organic mass of well-regulated forces used for the bringing-about a happy life for all.

William Morris 119 quotes

History has remembered the ki...

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.

William Morris 119 quotes

I do not want art for a few a...

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

William Morris 119 quotes

I am going, if I can, to be an architect, and I am too old already, and there is no time to lose.

William Morris 119 quotes

I pondered all these things, ...

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name.

William Morris 119 quotes

We are living in a epoch where there is combat between commercialism, or the system of reckless waste, and communism, or the system of neighbourly common sense.

William Morris 119 quotes

I don't remember being taught...

I don't remember being taught to read, and by the time I was seven years old, I had read a very great many books, good, bad, and indifferent.

William Morris 119 quotes

We shall not be happy unless ...

We shall not be happy unless we live like good animals, unless we enjoy the exercise of the ordinary functions of life: eating, sleeping, loving, walking, running, swimming, riding, sailing.

William Morris 119 quotes

It is right and necessary that all should have work to do which shall be worth doing and be of itself pleasant to do, and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious.

William Morris 119 quotes

Happy as we are, times may al...

Happy as we are, times may alter; we may be bitten with some impulse towards change, and many things may seem too wonderful for us to resist, too exciting not to catch at, if we do not know that they are but phases of what has been before and withal ruinous, deceitful, and sordid.
