More quotes by Matthew Arnold
Nature, with equal mind,
Sees all her sons at play
Sees man control the wind,
The wind sweep man away.
And that sweet city with her dreaming spires,
She needs not June for beauty’s heightening.
Peace, peace is what I seek, and public calm,
Endless extinction of unhappy hates.

A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
If we don’t care about our past we can’t have very much hope for our future.
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past, — so good night!
