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.

More quotes by William Blake
Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
Time is the Mercy of Eternity
William Blake
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
William Blake
He who loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
William Blake
My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt.
William Blake
[L]et light Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day. O radiant morning.
William Blake
Man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
William Blake
I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
William Blake
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
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
The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy. Thine is the Friend of all Mankind, Mine speaks in Parables to the blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates, Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates.
William Blake
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty !
William Blake
The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal the good one really does.
William Blake
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me I've all but riches bodily.
William Blake
For where'er the sun does shine, And where'er the rain does fall, Babe can never hunger there, Nor poverty the mind appall.
William Blake
The eye altering, alters all.
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
