More quotes by William Morris

"So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die."
"Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung."
"History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created."
"I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few."
"If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it."
