<p><em>The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands &amp; feet Proportion.<br />
As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.<br />
The crow wish&#8217;d every thing was black, the owl, that every thing was white.<br />
<strong>Exuberance is Beauty.</strong><br />
If the lion was advised by the fox. he would be cunning.<br />
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.<br />
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.<br />
Where man is not, nature is barren.<br />
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believ&#8217;d.<br />
Enough! or Too much.</em></p>
<p><em>- </em>Excerpt from &#8220;Proverbs of Hell&#8221; in William Blake&#8217;s <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMarriage-Heaven-Hell-William-Blake%2Fdp%2F1851243666%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1214233635%26sr%3D8-2&amp;tag=contrariwiseo-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">The Marriage of Heaven and Hell</a></em></p>
