More quotes by Walt Whitman
The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual.
Walt Whitman
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Walt Whitman
I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Walt Whitman
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
Walt Whitman
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.
Walt Whitman
O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!
Walt Whitman
Of all mankind the great poet is the equable man. Not in him but off from him things are grotesque or eccentric or fail of their sanity.
Walt Whitman
The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.
Walt Whitman
I think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost .
Walt Whitman
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
Walt Whitman
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
Camerado! This is no book who touches this touches a man.
Walt Whitman
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
Walt Whitman
God is a mean-spirited, pugnacious bully bent on revenge against His children for failing to live up to his impossible standards.
Walt Whitman
Now I see that there is no such thing as love unreturn'd. The pay is certain, one way or another.
Walt Whitman
People who serve you without love get even behind your back.
Walt Whitman
