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.

More quotes by William Blake
Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.
William Blake
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
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
Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings To his strong bones, strides o'er the groaning rocks: He withers all in silence, and his hand Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.
William Blake
Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
Gratitude, in itself, is heaven.
William Blake
Active Evil is better than Passive Good.
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
A dead body revenges not injuries.
William Blake
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
Everything is beautiful in its own way. Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
William Blake
Man was made for joy and woe, and when this we rightly know through the world we safely go. Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul to bind.
William Blake
Enthusiastic Admiration is the first Principle of Knowledge and its last.
William Blake
Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night.
William Blake
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed or governed their passions, but because they have cultivate their understandings.
William Blake
The countless gold of a merry heart, The rubies and pearls of a loving eye, The indolent never can bring to the mart, Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.
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
Since the French Revolution Englishmen are all intermeasurable one by another, certainly a happy state of agreement to which I forone do not agree.
William Blake
