Matthew Arnold
  • The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.

  • Poetry a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty.

  • To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive.

  • Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be enlarged practice what you know, and you shall attain to higher knowledge.

  • Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.
