More quotes by William Blake
The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved.
William Blake
More! More! is the cry of a mistaken soul.
William Blake
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
William Blake
He who does not imagine in stronger and better lineaments, and in stronger and better light than his perishing and mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all.
William Blake
Father, O father! what do we here In this land of unbelief and fear?
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
William Blake
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
William Blake
If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.
William Blake
The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.
William Blake
Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine.
William Blake
He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men.
William Blake
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
William Blake
Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Ale-house is healthy and pleasant and warm.
William Blake
The child's toys and the old man's reasons are the fruits of two seasons.
William Blake
If you have formed a circle to go into,Go into it yourself and see how you would do.
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
Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the Devil and earthly kings, I should suspect that I worshipp'd the Devil If I thank'd my God for worldly things.
William Blake
