William Blake
The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
William Blake
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
William Blake
I heard an Angel singing When the day was springing, Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
Everything is beautiful in its own way. Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
She who dwells with me whom I have loved with such communion, that no place on earth can ever be solitude to me.
William Blake
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength and breath And the want Of thought is death Then am I A happy fly If I live Or if I die
William Blake
Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the Devil and earthly kings, I should suspect that I worshipp'd the Devil If I thank'd my God for worldly things.
William Blake
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
William Blake
He who does not imagine in stronger and better lineaments, and in stronger and better light than his perishing and mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all.
William Blake
My mother bore me in the southern wild, And I am black, but O! my soul is white White as an angel is the English child, But I am black as if bereaved of light.
William Blake
The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.
William Blake
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
