Quote

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.

More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
O Earth, that hast no voice, confide to me a voice! O harvest of my lands! O boundless summer growths! O lavish, brown, parturient earth! O infinite, teeming womb! A verse to seek, to see, to narrate thee.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman
Image
The Americans, like the English, probably make love worse than any other race.
Walt Whitman
Image
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art... is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Image
I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
Walt Whitman
Image
I lean and loaf at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.
Walt Whitman
Image
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first Be not discouraged - keep on - there are divine things, well envelop'd I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
Image
What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.
