MATTHEW ARNOLD QUOTES

 Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion, the passion for sweetness and light.

Alas, is even Love too weak to unlock the heart and let it speak? Are even lovers powerless to reveal to one another what indeed they feel?

All this I bear, for, what I seek, I know: Peace, peace is what I seek, and public calm: Endless extinction of unhappy hates.

And we forget because we must and not because we will.

Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.

Change doth unknit the tranquil strength of men.

Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection.

Culture is the endeavor to know the best and to make this knowledge prevail for the good of all humankind.

Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.

Everything in our political life tends to hide from us that there is anything wiser than our ordinary selves.
