More quotes by Walt Whitman
We were together. I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
Walt Whitman
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
Walt Whitman
I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more positive proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in human kind, than a well-contested American national election.
Walt Whitman
But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
Walt Whitman
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
Now I see that there is no such thing as love unreturn'd. The pay is certain, one way or another.
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
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
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels he grows drunk with ecstasy he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.
Walt Whitman
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
Walt Whitman
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
Walt Whitman
The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual.
Walt Whitman
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
The art of art, the glory of expression, is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity, and the sunlight of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity-nothing can make up for excess, or for the lack of definiteness.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing is lacking, Yet all were lacking if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the right man were lacking.
Walt Whitman
Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.
Walt Whitman
Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love But now I think there is no unreturn'd loveāthe pay is certain, one way or another (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)
Walt Whitman
