More quotes by William Blake
May God us keep From Single vision and Newton's sleep.
William Blake
He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
The stars are threshed, and the souls are threshed from their husks.
William Blake
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.
William Blake
But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine.
William Blake

William Blake
Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake
Why stand we here trembling around, calling on God for help, and not ourselves, in whom God dwells?
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees.
William Blake
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
William Blake
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
William Blake
Father, O father! what do we here In this land of unbelief and fear?
William Blake
Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him theyare truly himself.
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
The Man who never in his Mind & Thoughts travel'd to Heaven Is No Artist.
William Blake
What is it men in women do require: The lineaments of gratified desire. What is it women do in men require: The lineaments of gratified desire.
William Blake
