Walt Whitman
Image
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.
Walt Whitman
Image
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
Walt Whitman
Image
The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
Walt Whitman
Image
The real war will never get in the books.
Walt Whitman

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
