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
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
But the people are ungrammatical, untidy, and their sins gaunt and ill-bred.
Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
This face is a dog's snout sniffing for garbage, snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
Walt Whitman
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
Walt Whitman
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked.
Walt Whitman
Whoever degrades another degrades me.
Walt Whitman
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
Walt Whitman
...of two simple men I saw today on the pier in the midst of the crowd, parting the parting of dear friends, the one to remain hung on the other's neck and passionately kissed him. While the one to depart tightly pressed the one to remain in his arms.
Walt Whitman
Youth, large, lusty, loving -- Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?
Walt Whitman
I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
Walt Whitman
Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt Whitman
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well.
Walt Whitman
I will not descend among professors and capitalists.
Walt Whitman
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Walt Whitman
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
