William Blake
What has reasoning to do with painting?
William Blake
A skylark wounded in the wing, / A cherubim does cease to sing.
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
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake
Every harlot was a virgin once.
William Blake
He who loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
God is the poetic genius in each of us.
William Blake
To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.
William Blake
Every man who is not an artist is a traitor to his own nature.
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
If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.
William Blake
Energy is the only life, and is from the body and reason is the bound or outward circumference of energy. Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
William Blake
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru chinks of his cavern.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal the good one really does.
William Blake
I was in a Printing-house in Hell, and saw the method in which knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.
William Blake
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
William Blake
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
William Blake
