More quotes by William Blake
If you have formed a circle to go into,Go into it yourself and see how you would do.
William Blake
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laugh'd And all the hills echoed
William Blake
He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
William Blake
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
The crow wished everything was black, the Owl, that everything was white.
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
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
If Christianity was morality, Socrates would be the Saviour.
William Blake
Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
William Blake
The Stolen and Perverted Writings of Homer & Ovid, of Plato & Cicero, which all men ought to contemn, are set up by artifice against the Sublime of the Bible
William Blake
Poetry, Painting & Music, the three Powers in man of conversing with Paradise, which the flood did not sweep away.
William Blake
I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill
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
Mans desires are limited by his perceptions none can desire what he has not perceived.
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 loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
Acts themselves alone are history, and these are neither the exclusive property of Hume, Gibbon nor Voltaire, Echard, Rapin, Plutarch, nor Herodotus. Tell me the Acts, O historian, and leave me to reason upon them as I please away with your reasoning and your rubbish. All that is not action is not worth reading.
William Blake
