More quotes by William Blake
Innate ideas are in every man, born with him they are truly himself. The man who says that we have no innate ideas must be a fool and knave, having no conscience or innate science.
William Blake
When the doors of perception are cleansed, men will see things as they truly are, infinite.
William Blake
Energy is the only life, and is from the body and reason is the bound or outward circumference of energy. Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.
William Blake
If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
Mercy, pity, and peace, Are the world's release.
William Blake
My Brother starv'd between two Walls,His Children's Cry my Soul appalls
William Blake
Active Evil is better than Passive Good.
William Blake
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
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
Such, such were the joys When we all, girls and boys, In our youth time were seen On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye.
William Blake
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
Enlightenment means taking full responsibility for your life.
William Blake
Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.
William Blake
The stars are threshed, and the souls are threshed from their husks.
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
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
The fields from Islington to Marybone, To Primrose Hill and Saint John's Wood, Were builded over with pillars of gold And there Jerusalem's pillars stood.
William Blake
