More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
Manhattan streets with their powerful throbs, with beating drums as now, The endless and noisy chorus, the rustle and clank of muskets, (even the sight of the wounded,) Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus! Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Comerado, this is no book,Who touches this, touches a man,(Is it night? Are we here alone?)It is I you hold, and who holds you,I spring from the pages into your arms-decease calls me forth.
Walt Whitman
Image
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

Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
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

Here is not merely a nation but a teeming nation of nations.
Walt Whitman
Image
The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.
Walt Whitman
Image
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman

In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
Image
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Walt Whitman
Image
Everybody is writing, writing, writing - worst of all, writing poetry. It'd be better if the whole tribe of the scribblers - every damned one of us - were sent off somewhere with tool chests to do some honest work.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
Walt Whitman
Image
I love doctors and hate their medicine.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman
Image
I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that years will ever stop the existence of me, or any one else.
Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
