More quotes by Walt Whitman
O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!
Walt Whitman
The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love But now I think there is no unreturn'd loveāthe pay is certain, one way or another (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)
Walt Whitman
Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
Walt Whitman
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines.
Walt Whitman
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
Walt Whitman
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.
Walt Whitman
I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.
Walt Whitman
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
I lean and loaf at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.
Walt Whitman
Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry), Our life is closed, our life begins, The long, long anchorage we leave, The ship is clear at last, she leaps! She swiftly courses from the shore, Joy, shipmate, joy!
Walt Whitman
I refuse putting from me the best that I am.
Walt Whitman
We consider bibles and religions divine I do not say they are not divine. I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still. It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing is lacking, Yet all were lacking if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the right man were lacking.
Walt Whitman
Dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after-ward resumes its liberty.
Walt Whitman
