William Blake on Idiot
← Back to William Blake Profile
“Degrade first the arts if you'd mankind degrade, Hire idiots to paint with cold light and hot shade.”
“What is Grand is necessarily obscure to Weak men. That which can be made Explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.”
“To Generalize is to be an Idiot. To Particularize is the Alone Distinction of Merit — General Knowledges are those Knowledges that Idiots possess.”
