I know I am deathless…We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers, There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.

More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no God any more divine than Yourself.
Walt Whitman
Image
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
My spirit has pass'd in compassion and determination around the whole earth. I have look'd for equals and lovers an found them ready for me in all lands, I think some divine rapport has equalized me with them
Walt Whitman
Image
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
Image
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Image
That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.
Walt Whitman
Image
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
Walt Whitman
Image
I lean and loaf at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
Image
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
Image
Out of every fruition of success, no matter what, comes forth something to make a new effort necessary.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
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
Image
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me, Me going in for my chances, spending for vast returns, Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me, Not asking the sky to come down to my goodwill, Scattering if freely forever.
Walt Whitman
Image
Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
Old age: The estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it pours into the Great Sea.
