William Morris (1834 – 1896)

"Nothing should be made by man's labour which is not worth making;
or which must be made by labour degrading to the makers."(William Morris)

"It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall he worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do;
and which should he done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious."(William Morris)

  The Arts and Crafts Movement

The origin of the Arts and Crafts Movement can be traced to the "True Principles" of August Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852), "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" and other writings and speeches of John Ruskin (1819-1900) and of course the revolutionary energy and poetic vision of the larger-than-life William Morris (1834-1896).  More than any other individual, it was Morris whose name is synonymous with the movement, whose work, philosophy, organising ability and powers of persuasion made him both its prophet and driving force drawing the succeding generation of artists, craftsmen, architects, writers, philosophers and sometimes polititions to devote their lives tp Morris' vision of The Earthly Paradise.

William Morris Quotes

If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it:
Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.

To do nothing but grumble and not to act - that is throwing away one's life.

It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.

I am going, if I can, to be an architect, and I am too old already, and there is no time to lose.

I cannot suppose there is anybody here who would think it either a good life, or an amusing one,
to sit with one's hands before one doing nothing - to live like a gentleman, as fools call it.”
Useful Work versus Useless Toil

No man is good enough to be another's master.

Free men must live simple lives and have simple pleasures.

Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung.

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.

That talk of inspiration is sheer nonsense; there is no such thing. It is a mere matter of craftsmanship.

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
