The Beauty of Life Quotes

“How can you care about the image of a landscape, when you show by your deeds that you don't care for the landscape itself?”
― William Morris, The Beauty of Life: William Morris and the Art of Design

“You may hang your walls with tapestry instead of whitewash or paper; or you may cover them with mosaic; or have them frescoed by a great painter: all this is not luxury, if it be done for beauty's sake, and not for show: it does not break our golden rule: Have nothing in your houses which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”
― William Morris, The Beauty of Life: William Morris and the Art of Design
