William Blake

"What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care."

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself."

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is - infinite."

"Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair."

"The lamb misused breeds public strifeAnd yet forgives the butcher's knife."

"If a thing loves, it is infinite."

"The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness."

"He who binds to himself a joyDoes the winged life destroy;But he who kisses the joy as it fliesLives in eternity's sun rise."

"Opposition is true friendship."

"Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare."

"Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death."

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend."

"Exuberance is beauty."

"He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars."

"A man can't soar too high, when he flies with his own wings."

"The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness."

"I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love."

"You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough."

"The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness."

"A Robin Redbreast in a CagePuts all Heaven in a Rage.A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeonsShudders Hell thro’ all its regions.A Dog starv’d at his Master’s GatePredicts the ruin of the State.A Horse misus’d upon the RoadCalls to Heaven for Human blood.Each outcry of the hunted HareA fiber from the Brain does tear."
