More quotes by William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
What is now proved was once only imagined.
William Blake
How have you left the ancient love That bards of old enjoyed in you! The languid strings do scarcely move! The sound is forced, the notes are few!
William Blake
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory.
William Blake
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
William Blake
Does the Eagle know what is in the pit Or wilt thou go ask the Mole? Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod, Or Love in a golden bowl?
William Blake
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
But if at church they would give some ale. And a pleasant fire our souls to regale. We'd sing and we'd pray all the live long day, Nor ever once from the church to stray.
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
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.
William Blake
If you have formed a circle to go into,Go into it yourself and see how you would do.
William Blake
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
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
He who makes his law a curse, by his own law shall surely die.
William Blake
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
William Blake
Poetry fettered fetters the human race.
William Blake
Silent as despairing love, and strong as jealousy.
William Blake
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
William Blake
