I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my Brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life; and whose works are the delight & Study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?

William Blake

Opposition is true friendship.

William Blake

Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed & govern'd their Passions or have no Passions, but because they have cultivated their Understandings. The Treasures of Heaven are not Negations of Passion, but Realities of Intellect, from which all Passions Emanate in their Eternal Glory. The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so Holy. Holiness is not the price of Entrance into Heaven. Those who are cast out are All Those who, having no Passions of their own because No Intellect, have spent their lives in Curbing and Governing other People's by the Various acts of Poverty & Cruelty of all kinds. . . .

William Blake
