More quotes by William Blake
What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, eternal death.
William Blake
The Britons (say historians) were naked, civilized men, learned, studious, abstruse in thought and contemplation naked, simple, plain in their acts and manners wiser than after ages.
William Blake
Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake
Every tear from every eyeBecomes a babe in eternity.
William Blake
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
I care not whether a man is good or evil all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.
William Blake
Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.

William Blake
The world of imagination is the world of eternity.
William Blake
God only acts and is, in existing beings or men.
William Blake
Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.
William Blake
I see the Past, Present & Future existing all at once Before me.
William Blake
Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
William Blake
Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him theyare truly himself.
William Blake
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laugh'd And all the hills echoed
William Blake
Travelers repose and dream among my leaves.
William Blake
