Image
I care not whether a man is good or evil all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.
William Blake
Image
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
Image

Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.
William Blake
Image
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
Image
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
Image
The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any one's ass.
William Blake
Image
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
William Blake
Image
Christianity is art and not money. Money is its curse.
William Blake
Image
Tools were made and born were hands, Every farmer understands.
William Blake
Image
If Christianity was morality, Socrates would be the Saviour.
William Blake
Image
O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors: The north is thine there hast thou build thy dark, Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs, Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.
William Blake
Image
I thought Love lived in the hot sunshine, But O, he lives in the moony light! I thought to find Love in the heat of day, But sweet Love is the comforter of night.
William Blake
Image
O white-robed Angel, guide my timorous hand to write as on a lofty rock with iron pen the words of truth, that all who pass may read.
William Blake
Image
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
