More quotes by William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.
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
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
The naked women's body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
Silent as despairing love, and strong as jealousy.
William Blake
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
William Blake
Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the Last Judgement draweth nigh.
William Blake
Rhetoric completes the tools of learning. Dialectic zeros in on the logic of things, of particular systems of thought or subjects. Rhetoric takes the next grand step and brings all these subjects together into one whole.
William Blake
Joy and woe are woven fine.
William Blake
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
William Blake
Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.
William Blake
Nothing can be more contemptible than to suppose Public Records to be true.
William Blake
All pictures that's painted with sense and with thought / Are painted by madmen as sure as a groat / For the greater the fool in the pencil more blest, / And when they are drunk they always paint best.
William Blake
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:While the Lily white shall in love delight,Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
William Blake
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
William Blake
Error is created truth is eternal.
William Blake
