More quotes by 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!
Walt Whitman
Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son, Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding, No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them, No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman
The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
A man can be a hero in any profession
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
For all these new and evolutionary facts, meanings, purposes, new poetic messages, new forms and expressions, are inevitable.
Walt Whitman
Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
In the faces of men and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
Walt Whitman
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
Walt Whitman
I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law Will you give me yourself?
Walt Whitman
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
