More quotes by William Blake
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
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
Nature has no outline. Imagination has.
William Blake

William Blake
Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swaddling bands, Bound and weary, I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast.
William Blake

William Blake
Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.
William Blake
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind!
William Blake
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentence you'll certainly wipe But if once you let the ripe moment go You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
William Blake
All futurity seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
William Blake
When Sir Joshua Reynolds died All Nature was degraded
William Blake
Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, & they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals & is utterly useless to any one a blight never does good to a tree, & if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
William Blake
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
William Blake
