I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake

William Blake
Mutual forgiveness of each vice. Such are the Gates of Paradise.
William Blake
I thought Love lived in the hot sunshine, But O, he lives in the moony light! I thought to find Love in the heat of day, But sweet Love is the comforter of night.
William Blake
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
William Blake
The person who does not believe in miracles surely makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.

Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
