William Morris

William Morris
The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
William Morris
Architecture would lead us to all the arts, as it did with earlier mean: but if we despise it and take no note of how we are housed, the other arts will have a hard time of it indeed.
William Morris
A world made to be lost, - A bitter life 'twixt pain and nothing tost.
William Morris
What is an artist but a workman who is determined that, whatever else happens, his work shall be excellent?
William Morris
Earth, left silent by the wind of night,Seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height.
William Morris
A pattern is either right or wrong...it is no stronger than its weakest point.
William Morris
