More quotes by William Blake
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
William Blake
I see the Past, Present & Future existing all at once Before me.
William Blake
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
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
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
Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
William Blake
The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so Holy.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
Christianity is art and not money. Money is its curse.
William Blake
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
William Blake
I heard an Angel singing When the day was springing, Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
William Blake
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake
When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.
William Blake
He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
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
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
