More quotes by Walt Whitman
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
Walt Whitman
I lean and loaf at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!
Walt Whitman
A man can be a hero in any profession
Walt Whitman
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
The process of reading is not a half sleep, but in the highest sense, an exercise, a gymnast's struggle: that the reader is to do something for him or herself, must be on the alert, just construct indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay--the text furnishing the hints, the clue, the start, the framework.
Walt Whitman
A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.
Walt Whitman
Here is not merely a nation but a teeming nation of nations.
Walt Whitman
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Walt Whitman
There is no God any more divine than Yourself.
Walt Whitman
Camerado! This is no book who touches this touches a man.
Walt Whitman
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
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
Seasons pursuing each other the indescribable crowd is gathered, it is the fourth of Seventh-month, (what salutes of cannon and small arms!
Walt Whitman
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Walt Whitman
Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt Whitman
