More quotes by William Blake
Knowledge is Life with wings
William Blake
Listen to the fool's reproach! It is a kingly title!
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
William Blake
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake
Time is the mercy of Eternity without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment.
William Blake
England! awake! awake! awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls?
William Blake
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.
William Blake

William Blake
The child's toys and the old man's reasons are the fruits of two seasons.
William Blake
Every harlot was a virgin once.
William Blake
Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.
William Blake
If Christianity was morality, Socrates would be the Saviour.
William Blake
Pity would be no more, If we did not make somebody poor. Mercy no more could be, If all were happy as we.
William Blake
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
William Blake
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
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
To create a little flower is the labour of ages.
William Blake
