William Blake

1) “The world of Imagination is the world of capability”

2) “Man is all Imagination

3) Imagination is the divine body in everyman”

“ ...... Experience teaches (a man) to catch

4) And to cage the fairies an elves “        

5) “And the eagle is known from the owl “                           

6) “It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.” 

7) “If a thing loves, it is infinite.” 

8) “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.” 

9) “The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.” 

10) “The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.” 

11) “The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.” 

12) “What is now proved was once only imagined.” 

13) “The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.” 

14) “To generalize is to be an idiot.” 

15) “Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.” 

16) “For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.” 

17) “In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.” 

18) “He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.”

19) “A man can't soar too high, when he flies with his own wings.” 

20) “Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.” 

21) “You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.” 

22) “I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity.” 

23) “My mother groaned, my father wept,
into the dangerous world I leapt.” 

24) “Every Night and every Morn/Some to Misery are born./Every Morn and every Night/Some are born to Sweet Delight,/Some are born to Endless Night. ”
