William Blake/assessment

Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or assessment:

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Ephesians, 6:12.

    St. Paul’s words were used by William Blake as an epigraph to The Four Zoas (c. 1800)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
