More quotes by William Blake
The Old and New Testaments are the Great Code of Art.
William Blake
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
William Blake
thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.
William Blake
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
We are led to believe a lie When we see not through the eye.
William Blake
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
William Blake
The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so Holy.
William Blake
He loves to sit and hear me sing, Then, laughing, sports and plays with me Then stretches out my golden wing, And mocks my loss of liberty.
William Blake

William Blake
Gratitude is heaven itself.
William Blake

William Blake
The vision of Christ that thou dost see Is my vision's greatest enemy.
William Blake
The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake
A musician, an artist, an architect: the man or woman who is not one of these is not a Christian.
William Blake
Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening, Now, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light Thy bright torch of love thy radiant crown Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
William Blake
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
O God, protect me from my friends, that they have not power over me. Thou hast giv'n me power to protect myself from thy bitterest enemies.
William Blake
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves the feet of angels bright unseen they pour blessing, and joy without ceasing, on each bud and blossom, and each sleeping bosom.
William Blake
Execution is the chariot of genius.
William Blake
