SELECTED QUOTATIONS OF WILLIAM BLAKE

 
 
 
fromPROVERBS OF HELL
 

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. 
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. 
What is now proved was once, only imagin'd. 
The cistern contains; the fountain overflows. 
One thought, fills immensity. 
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. 
If others had not been foolish, we should be so. 
To create a little flower is the labour of ages. 
The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest. 
Exuberance is Beauty.
