More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!
Walt Whitman
Image
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.

I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
Walt Whitman
Image
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me, Me going in for my chances, spending for vast returns, Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me, Not asking the sky to come down to my goodwill, Scattering if freely forever.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
Walt Whitman
Image
As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.
Walt Whitman
Image
You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
