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

More quotes by Walt Whitman
Now, dearest comrade, lift me to your face, We must separate awhileHere! take from my lips this kiss. Whoever you are, I give it especially to you So long!And I hope we shall meet again.
Walt Whitman
Day full-blown and splendid-day of the immense sun, action, ambition, laughter, The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and restoring darkness.
Walt Whitman
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
O the joy of the strong-brawn'd fighter, towering in the arena in perfect condition, conscious of power, thirsting to meet his opponent.
Walt Whitman
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
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
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.
Walt Whitman
Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.
Walt Whitman
I exist as I am, that is enough.
Walt Whitman
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Walt Whitman
I know perfectly well my own egotism.
Walt Whitman
We were together. I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
I will not descend among professors and capitalists.
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
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Have you not learned the most in your life from those with whom you disagreed - those who saw it differently from you?
Walt Whitman
There's a man in the world who is never turned down, whatever he chances to stray he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or out where the farmers makes hay he's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods wherever he goes there's a welcoming hand-he's the man who delivers the goods.
Walt Whitman
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
