More Quotes from Matthew Arnold:
Culture, then, is a study of perfection, and perfection which insists on becoming something rather than in having something, in an inward condition of the mind and spirit, not in an outward set of circumstances.Matthew Arnold
Years hence, perhaps, may dawn an age, More fortunate, alas than we, Which without hardness will be sage, And gay without frivolity.
Matthew Arnold
And we are here as on a darkling plain; Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.
Matthew Arnold
Not a having and a resting, but a growing and becoming, is the character of perfection as culture conceives it.
Matthew Arnold
Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?
Matthew Arnold
O children, what do ye reply?
Matthew Arnold
