More quotes by Walt Whitman
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
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
The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love.
Walt Whitman
Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later, delicate death.
Walt Whitman
By writing at the instant, the very heartbeat of life is caught.
Walt Whitman
There is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheeled universe.
Walt Whitman
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
People who serve you without love get even behind your back.
Walt Whitman
I was in the midst of it all - saw war where war is worst - not on the battlefields, no - in the hospitals ... there I mixed with it: and now I say God damn the wars - allw ars: God damn every war: God damn 'em! God damn 'em!
Walt Whitman
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle that the reader is to do something for himself.
Walt Whitman
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
Walt Whitman
Loafe with me on the grass—loose the stop from your throat Not words, not music or rhyme I want—not custom or lecture, not even the best Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice.
Walt Whitman
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well.
Walt Whitman
Long enough have you dream'd contemptible dreams, Now I wash the gum from your eyes, You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life
Walt Whitman
More and more too, the old name absorbs into me. Mannahatta, 'the place encircled by many swift tides and sparkling waters.' How fit a name for America's great democratic island city! The word itself, how beautiful! how aboriginal! how it seems to rise with tall spires, glistening in sunshine, with such New World atmosphere, vista and action!
Walt Whitman
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
Walt Whitman
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
