English poet, painter, and printmaker whose visionary illuminated books, including The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, fused radical theology with poetry. Here are 8 short quotes by William Blake (1757 – 1827), each with the work it comes from, drawn from 1 source.
What is now proved was once only imagined.
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
Exuberance is Beauty.
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
In seed-time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
The soul of sweet delight can never be defiled.
