More quotes by William Blake
The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.
William Blake
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
William Blake
O white-robed Angel, guide my timorous hand to write as on a lofty rock with iron pen the words of truth, that all who pass may read.
William Blake
To my eye Rubens' colouring is most contemptible. His shadows are a filthy brown somewhat the colour of excrement.
William Blake
Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity.
William Blake
Rhetoric completes the tools of learning. Dialectic zeros in on the logic of things, of particular systems of thought or subjects. Rhetoric takes the next grand step and brings all these subjects together into one whole.
William Blake
The person who does not believe in miracles surely makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.
William Blake
Although wine when it is read somewhat lacks the savour of wine when it is drunk, wine remains a very pleasant thing both to read about and to chat about.
William Blake
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
You've always had the power right there in your shoes, you just had to learn it for yourself.
William Blake
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
William Blake
What has reason to do with the art of painting?
William Blake
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
William Blake
The cistern contains: The fountain overflows.
William Blake
He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
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
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
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
