More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
Image
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
Image
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete, The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken.
Walt Whitman
Image
Simplicity is the glory of expression.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Image
The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Image
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
Image
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
Image
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman
Image
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman
Image
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.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am larger, better than I thought I did not know I held so much goodness.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end, But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
Image
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels he grows drunk with ecstasy he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.
Walt Whitman
