More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Strange, (is it not?) that battles, martyrs, blood, even assassination should so condense - perhaps only really lastingly condense - a Nationality.
Walt Whitman
Image
Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
Walt Whitman
Image
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.
Walt Whitman
Image
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
Walt Whitman
Image
Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Whitman
Image
All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show of male and female that either is but the equal of the other.
Walt Whitman
Image
The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy
Walt Whitman
Image
And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.
Walt Whitman
Image
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
