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
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Walt Whitman
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.
Walt Whitman
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
I exist as I am, that is enough.
Walt Whitman
Day full-blown and splendid-day of the immense sun, action, ambition, laughter, The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and restoring darkness.

Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.

O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
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
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
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
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman
I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
Walt Whitman
These are the days that must happen to you.
Walt Whitman
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
Walt Whitman
Silence? What can New York-noisy, roaring, rumbling, tumbling, bustling, story, turbulent New York-have to do with silence? Amid the universal clatter, the incessant din of business, the all swallowing vortex of the great money whirlpool-who has any, even distant, idea of the profound repose......of silence?
Walt Whitman
Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
I know perfectly well my own egotism.
