It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?  (William Morris Quotes) The question of who are the best people to take charge of children is a very difficult one; but it is quite certain that the parents are the very worst  (William Morris Quotes) If others can see it as I have seen it, then it may be called a vision rather than a dream  (William Morris Quotes) Love is enough: while ye deemed him a-sleeping, there were signs of his coming and sounds of his feet; his touch it was that would bring you to weeping, when the summer was deepest and music most sweet  (William Morris Quotes) I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few  (William Morris Quotes) And what do ye say then? - that spring long departed has brought forth no child to the softness and showers; - that we slept and we dreamed through the summer of flowers; we dreamed of the winter, and waking dead-hearted found winter upon us and waste of dull hours  (William Morris Quotes) Ah!
