More quotes by Walt Whitman
We arrange our lives-even the best and boldest men and women that exist, just as much as the most limited-with reference to what society conventionally rules and makes right.
Walt Whitman
I exist as I am, that is enough.
Walt Whitman
O the joy of my spirit--it is uncaged--it darts like lightning! It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all time.
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.
Walt Whitman
I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
Walt Whitman
O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.
Walt Whitman
Women sit or move to and fro, some old, some young, / The young are beautiful--but the old are more beautiful than the young.
Walt Whitman
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Walt Whitman
My little notebooks were beginnings - they were the ground into which I dropped the seed... I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home.
Walt Whitman
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
Press close, bare-bosomed Night! Press close, magnetic, nourishing Night! Night of south winds! Night of the large, few stars! Still, nodding Night! Mad, naked, Summer Night!
Walt Whitman
I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.
Walt Whitman
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair.
Walt Whitman
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Walt Whitman
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.
Walt Whitman
