More quotes by Walt Whitman
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Walt Whitman
In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.
Walt Whitman
I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.
Walt Whitman
The real war will never get in the books.
Walt Whitman
The shallow, as intimated, consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
Walt Whitman
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Now I will do nothing but listen to accrue what I hear into this song. To let sounds contribute toward it. I hear the sound I love. The sound of the human voice. I hear all sounds running together.
Walt Whitman
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
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
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
Walt Whitman
Freedom - to walk free and own no superior.
Walt Whitman
I know I am deathlessÂ…We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers, There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.
Walt Whitman
Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? Well I have, for the Fourth-month showers have, and the mica on the side of a rock has.
Walt Whitman
It is only the novice in political economy who thinks it is the duty of government to make its citizens happy - government has no such office.
Walt Whitman
I love doctors and hate their medicine.
Walt Whitman
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Whoever degrades another degrades me.
Walt Whitman
