Image
I say no body of men are fit to make Presidents, judges and generals, unless they themselves supply the best specimens of the same and that supplying one or two such specimens illuminates the whole body for a thousand years.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Walt Whitman

Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle that the reader is to do something for himself.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
Image
Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
Image
I will not descend among professors and capitalists.
Walt Whitman

All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.

Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
Image
The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.
