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
Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.
William Blake

William Blake
The cistern contains: The fountain overflows.
William Blake
I rest not from my great task! | To open the Eternal Worlds, | to open the immortal Eyes of Man | Inwards into the Worlds of Thought | Into eternity, ever expanding | In the Bosom of God, | The Human Imagination
William Blake
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
William Blake
