Quote by William Blake
The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius

The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemens opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved. – William Blake

Other quotes by William Blake

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. – William Blake
