More quotes by Walt Whitman
I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
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.
Walt Whitman
Forsake all inhibitions, Pursue thy dreams.
Walt Whitman
Out of every fruition of success, no matter what, comes forth something to make a new effort necessary.
Walt Whitman
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.
Walt Whitman
There's a man in the world who is never turned down, whatever he chances to stray he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or out where the farmers makes hay he's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods wherever he goes there's a welcoming hand-he's the man who delivers the goods.
Walt Whitman
A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
Walt Whitman
What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman
Have you not learned the most in your life from those with whom you disagreed - those who saw it differently from you?
Walt Whitman
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
Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.
Walt Whitman
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman
I am too not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Walt Whitman
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
Walt Whitman
The most affluent man is he that confronts all the shows he sees by equivalents out of the stronger wealth of himself.
Walt Whitman
And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
Walt Whitman
Whoever degrades another degrades me.
Walt Whitman
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
Walt Whitman
