He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men.

— William Blake

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

If a thing loves, it is infinite.

Art is the tree of life. SCIENCE is the Tree of DEATH ART is the Tree of LIFEGOD is JESUS

Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.

There can be no Good Will. Will is always Evil; it is persecution to others or selfishness.

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit? Or wilt thou go ask the Mole? Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod? Or Love in a golden bowl?
