More quotes by William Blake
The Whole Business of Man is The Arts, & All Things Common.
William Blake
Innate ideas are in every man, born with him they are truly himself. The man who says that we have no innate ideas must be a fool and knave, having no conscience or innate science.
William Blake
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
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
When Sir Joshua Reynolds died All Nature was degraded
William Blake
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
William Blake
Mysteries are not to be solved. They eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.
William Blake
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
I see the Past, Present & Future existing all at once Before me.
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
Without contraries there is no progression.
William Blake
Everything is beautiful in its own way. Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
Rome & Greece swept Art into their maw & destroy'd it a Warlike State never can produce Art. It will Rob & Plunder & accumulate into one place, & Translate & Copy & Buy & Sell & Criticize, but not Make.
William Blake
Every tear from every eyeBecomes a babe in eternity.
William Blake
Since the French Revolution Englishmen are all intermeasurable one by another, certainly a happy state of agreement to which I forone do not agree.
William Blake
Without Unceasing Practice nothing can be done. Practice is Art. If you leave off you are lost.
William Blake
The pure soul shall mount on native wings, . . . and cut a path into the heaven of glory.
William Blake
thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.
William Blake
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
William Blake
Christ's crucifix shall be made an excuse for executing criminals.
William Blake
