Walt Whitman
Image
In the faces of men and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
Image
A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.
Walt Whitman

Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
Image
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
Image
I meet new Walt Whitmans everyday. There are a dozen of them afloat. I don't know which Walt Whitman I am.
Walt Whitman
Image
When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman
