More quotes by William Blake

William Blake
Opposition is true friendship.
William Blake
For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
William Blake

William Blake

William Blake
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake

William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all... / Passion and expression are beauty itself.
William Blake

William Blake

William Blake
The spirits of the air live on the smells Of fruit and joy, with pinions light, roves round The gardens, or sits singing in the trees.
William Blake
The lamb misused breeds public strife And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
William Blake
O God, protect me from my friends, that they have not power over me. Thou hast giv'n me power to protect myself from thy bitterest enemies.
William Blake
To generalize is to be an idiot.
William Blake
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.
William Blake
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
William Blake
Celebrate your existence!
William Blake
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
William Blake
