More quotes by 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
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
One thought fills immensity.
William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
Some will say, Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer, God only Acts & Is, in existing beings or Men.
William Blake
A good local pub has much in common with a church, except that a pub is warmer, and there's more conversation.
William Blake
What has reasoning to do with painting?
William Blake
How can the bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing, And forget his youthful spring?
William Blake
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
We are led to believe a lie When we see not through the eye.
William Blake
Christianity is art and not money. Money is its curse.
William Blake
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
William Blake
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
The crow wished everything was black, the Owl, that everything was white.
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
The vision of Christ that thou dost see is my vision's greatest enemy . Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read'st black where I read white. His seventy disciples sent against religion and government .
William Blake
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake
