More quotes by William Blake
Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.
William Blake
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
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
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
O Earth, O Earth, return! Arise from out the dewy grass Night is worn And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass.
William Blake
Christianity is art and not money. Money is its curse.
William Blake
We are led to believe a lie When we see not through the eye.
William Blake
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Nature has no outline. Imagination has.
William Blake
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
Degrade first the Arts if you'd Mankind Degrade. Hire Idiots to Paint with cold light & hot shade: Give high Price for the worst, leave the best in disgrace, And with Labours of Ignorance fill every place.
William Blake
The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.
William Blake
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so? He replied, All poets believe it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removes mountains but many are not capable of firm persuasion of anything.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
He who shall teach the child to doubtThe rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
For the Eye altering alters all The Senses roll themselves in fear And the flat Earth becomes a Ball.
William Blake
The crow wished everything was black, the Owl, that everything was white.
William Blake
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?
William Blake
