And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.” - William Blake

Beats all the lies you can invent.” - William Blake

“It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.” - William Blake

In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” - William Blake

“Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.” - William Blake

“What is now proved was once only imagined.” - William Blake
