More quotes by William Morris
Death have we hated, knowing not what it meant Life we have loved, through green leaf and through sere, Though still the less we knew of its intent.
William Morris

William Morris

William Morris
Late February days and now, at last, Might you have thought that Winter's woe was past So fair the sky was and so soft the air.
William Morris
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
William Morris
What is an artist but a workman who is determined that, whatever else happens, his work shall be excellent?
William Morris
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
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
Don't think too much of style.
William Morris
If we feel the least degradation in being amorous, or merry or hungry, or sleepy, we are so far bad animals & miserable men.
William Morris
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
William Morris
