More quotes by Walt Whitman
Keep your face always toward the sunshine everything could be worse but isn't and so we are justified in being grateful - and shadows everything could be better but isn't and so it is easy to be bitter 'unless you decide to look on the bright side will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
My call is the call of battle- I nourish active rebellion/ He going with me must go well armed.
Walt Whitman
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Walt Whitman
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Walt Whitman
The work for giants...to serve well the guns!
Walt Whitman
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.
Walt Whitman
Where the earth is, we are.
Walt Whitman
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Walt Whitman
Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting, Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems
Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman
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.
Walt Whitman
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
Liberty is to be subserved, whatever occurs.
Walt Whitman
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.
Walt Whitman
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
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
And I will show of male and female that either is but the equal of the other.
Walt Whitman
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth I dreamed that was the new City of Friends Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust loveāit led the rest It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
