More quotes by Walt Whitman
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking bird's throat, the musical shuttle, . . . . A reminiscence sing.
Walt Whitman
Strange, (is it not?) that battles, martyrs, blood, even assassination should so condense - perhaps only really lastingly condense - a Nationality.
Walt Whitman
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
Walt Whitman
Now I will do nothing but listen to accrue what I hear into this song. To let sounds contribute toward it. I hear the sound I love. The sound of the human voice. I hear all sounds running together.
Walt Whitman
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
Long enough have you dream'd contemptible dreams, Now I wash the gum from your eyes, You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life
Walt Whitman
I accept reality and dare not question it.
Walt Whitman
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost.
Walt Whitman
Camerado! This is no book who touches this touches a man.
Walt Whitman
Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.
Walt Whitman
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
I know perfectly well my own egotism.
Walt Whitman
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
Walt Whitman
The best writing has no lace on its sleeves.
Walt Whitman
It is a beautiful truth that all men contain something of the artist in them. And perhaps it is the case that the greatest artists live and die, the world and themselves alike ignorant what they possess.
Walt Whitman
Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
Walt Whitman
Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.
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 will not descend among professors and capitalists.
