More quotes by William Morris
O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung Is half so sweet as thrushes sang When my dear love and I were young.
William Morris
Large or small, [the garden] should be orderly and rich. It should be well fenced from the outside world. It should by no means imitate either the willfulness or the wildness of nature, but should look like a thing never to be seen except near the house. It should, in fact, look like part of the house.
William Morris
From out the throng and stress of lies, From out the painful noise of sighs, One voice of comfort seems to rise: It is the meaner part that dies.
William Morris

William Morris
Speak but one word to me.
William Morris

William Morris
What is an artist but a workman who is determined that, whatever else happens, his work shall be excellent?
William Morris
No pattern should be without some sort of meaning.
William Morris
Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
William Morris
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
My work is the embodiment of dreams in one form or another.
William Morris
It is for him that is lonely or in prison to dream of fellowship, but for him that is of a fellowship to do and not to dream.
William Morris
A good way to rid one's self of a sense of discomfort is to do something. That uneasy, dissatisfied feeling is actual force vibrating out of order it may be turned to practical account by giving proper expression to its creative character.
William Morris
Between complete socialism and communism there is no difference whatever in my mind.Communism is in fact the completion of socialism when that ceases to be militant and becomes triumphant, it will be communism.
William Morris
Free men must live simple lives and have simple pleasures.
William Morris
If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it.
William Morris
