Walt Whitman
Image
When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman
Image
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again and ever again, this soiled world.
Walt Whitman
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
Resist much, obey little.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman
Image
In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.

Image
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
Image
When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.
Walt Whitman
Image
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Walt Whitman
Image
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
Image
Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books.
Walt Whitman
Image
I think of few heroic actions, which cannot be traced to the artistical impulse. He who does great deeds, does them from his innate sensitiveness to moral beauty.
Walt Whitman
Image
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
Walt Whitman
Image
There was never any more inception than there is now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now And will never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
