More quotes by William Blake

William Blake
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
I see through my eyes, not with them.
William Blake

William Blake
He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
William Blake
Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swaddling bands, Bound and weary, I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast.
William Blake
Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: Pipe a song about a Lamb. So I piped with merry cheer Piper, pipe that song again. So I piped he wept to hear.
William Blake

William Blake
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.
William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
Every man who is not an artist is a traitor to his own nature.
William Blake
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
William Blake
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.
William Blake
For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
William Blake
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
Each man must create his own system or else he is a slave to another mans
