More quotes by Walt Whitman
Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Walt Whitman
The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.
Walt Whitman
The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
Walt Whitman
I open my scuttle at night and see the far-sprinkled systems, All all I see multiplied as high as I can cipher edge but the rim of the farther systems. Wider and wider they spread, expanding, always expanding, Outward and outward and forever outward.
Walt Whitman
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
Walt Whitman
We convince by our presence.
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
Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt Whitman
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son, Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding, No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them, No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
The city sleeps and the country sleeps, the living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time, the old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife and these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, and such as it is to be of these more or less I am, and of these one and all I weave the song of myself.
Walt Whitman
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
Walt Whitman
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
Walt Whitman
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete, The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken.
Walt Whitman
There is that indescribable freshness and unconsciousness about an illiterate person that humbles and mocks the power of the noblest expressive genius.
Walt Whitman
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman
Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls.
Walt Whitman
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
