More quotes by William Blake
Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.
William Blake
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
Make your own rules or be a slave to another man's.
William Blake
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.
William Blake
The ignorant Insults of Individuals will not hinder me from doing my duty to my Art
William Blake
Art degraded, Imagination denied.
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
Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.
William Blake
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
To Chloe's breast young Cupid slily stole, But he crept in at Myra's pocket-hole.
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
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
First thought is best in Art, second in other matters.
William Blake
Ah, sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done Where the youth pined away with desire And the pale virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my sunflower wishes to go.
William Blake
Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.
William Blake
The mocker of Art is the mocker of Jesus.
William Blake
Energy is an eternal delight.
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
The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.
William Blake
Active Evil is better than Passive Good.
William Blake
