Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
William Blake
Image
Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity.
William Blake
Image
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
Image
May God us keep From Single vision and Newton's sleep.
William Blake
Image
Every harlot was a virgin once.
William Blake
Image
Ah, sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done Where the youth pined away with desire And the pale virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my sunflower wishes to go.
William Blake
Image
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
William Blake
Image
When the doors of perception are cleansed, men will see things as they truly are, infinite.
William Blake
Image
Never seek to tell thy love Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently.. invisibly.
William Blake
Image
The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled.
William Blake
Image
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!
William Blake
Image
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
Image
God is the poetic genius in each of us.
William Blake
Image
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
Image
The hand of Vengeance found the Bed To which the Purple Tyrant fled The iron hand crush'd the tyrant's head And became Tyrant in his stead.
William Blake
Image
Thou art a man God is no more Thy own humanity Learn to adore
William Blake
Image
The human mind cannot go beyond the gift of God, the Holy Ghost. To suppose that art can go beyond the finest specimens of art that are now in the world is not knowing what art is it is being blind to the gifts of the spirit.
William Blake
Image
He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men.
