O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
Walt Whitman

More quotes by Walt Whitman
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
Walt Whitman
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Whitman
Give me such shows - give me the streets of Manhattan!
Walt Whitman
In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
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
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Walt Whitman
I am large, I contain multitudes
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. 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
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
Walt Whitman
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
We were together. I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
Walt Whitman
I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
Walt Whitman
Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.
Walt Whitman
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.
Walt Whitman
How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!
Walt Whitman
I know perfectly well my own egotism.
Walt Whitman
