Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with ignorance.
William Blake

William Blake
Image

William Blake
Image
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.

I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
Image
Angels are happier than men and devils, because they are not always prying after good and evil in one another, and eating the tree of knowledge for Satan's gratification.
William Blake
Image
Each man must create his own system or else he is a slave to another mans
