More quotes by William Blake
The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.
William Blake
It is the greatest of crimes to depress true art and science.
William Blake
But to go to school in a summer morn, O! It drives all joy away Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day In sighing and dismay.
William Blake
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
William Blake
To be an Error and to be Cast out is a part of God's Design.
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
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
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
Love seeketh only self to please, To bind another to its delight, Joys in another's loss of ease, And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.
William Blake
My Brother starv'd between two Walls,His Children's Cry my Soul appalls
William Blake
And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every Child may joy to hear.
William Blake
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
William Blake
Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
William Blake
Thou art a man God is no more Thy own humanity Learn to adore
William Blake
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
William Blake
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God.
William Blake
The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels and God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.
William Blake
He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
William Blake
