" "

I am accursed and beguiled; and I wander round and round in a tangle that I may never escape from. I am not far from deeming that this is a land of dreams made for my beguiling. Or has the earth become so full of lies, that there is no room amidst them for a true man to stand upon his feet and go his ways?

Additional quotes by William Morris

Love is enough: though the World be a-waning And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining, Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder, Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder, And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over, Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter; The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

Ricchezza è quello che la Natura ci dà e quello che un uomo assennato può trarre dai suoi doni per farne un uso ragionevole. La luce del sole, l'aria fresca, l'incontaminato volto della Terra, e quanto abbisogni di cibo, vestiario e alloggio decenti; l'accumulo di conoscenze di ogni tipo, e il potere di diffonderle; i mezzi con cui gli uomini possono liberamente comunicare fra loro; le opere d'arte, la bellezza che l'uomo crea quanto è uomo nel senso più alto, animato da aspirazioni e premura per gli altri; tutte cose al servizio del piacere della gente, libere, degne di un uomo e incorrotte. Questa è la ricchezza.
