More quotes by William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
All futurity seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
William Blake
Energy is an eternal delight.
William Blake
Poetry, Painting & Music, the three Powers in man of conversing with Paradise, which the flood did not sweep away.
William Blake
Acts themselves alone are history, and these are neither the exclusive property of Hume, Gibbon nor Voltaire, Echard, Rapin, Plutarch, nor Herodotus. Tell me the Acts, O historian, and leave me to reason upon them as I please away with your reasoning and your rubbish. All that is not action is not worth reading.
William Blake
The Man who never in his Mind & Thoughts travel'd to Heaven Is No Artist.
William Blake
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
William Blake
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
William Blake
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
William Blake
Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity.
William Blake
Painters are noted for being dissipated and wild.
William Blake
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
Prepare your hearts for Death's cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth Prepare your arms for glorious victory Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare!
William Blake
Without contraries there is no progression.
William Blake
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
One Power alone makes a Poet: Imagination. The Divine Vision.
William Blake
A dead body revenges not injuries.
William Blake
