Additional quotes by William Blake

Then old Nobodaddy aloft
Farted and belched and coughed,
And said, "I love hanging and drawing and quartering
Every bit as well as war and slaughtering."

Do what you will, this life's a fiction, And it is made up of contradiction.

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress. - William Blake
