More quotes by William Blake

Image
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.

For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.

Expect poison from the standing water.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
