More quotes by Walt Whitman
There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
Walt Whitman
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Everybody is writing, writing, writing - worst of all, writing poetry. It'd be better if the whole tribe of the scribblers - every damned one of us - were sent off somewhere with tool chests to do some honest work.
Walt Whitman
Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair.
Walt Whitman
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
Walt Whitman
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
