Matthew Arnold Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: December 24, 1822 - April 15, 1888

Birthday: December 24

Death: April 15

Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion--the passion for sweetness and light. It has one even yet greater, the passion for making them all prevail. It is not satisfied till we all come to a perfect man; it knows that the sweetness and light of the few must be imperfect until the raw and unkindly masses of humanity are touched with sweetness and light.

- Matthew Arnold
