More quotes by Walt Whitman
I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son, Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding, No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them, No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman
Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful stroke!
Walt Whitman
I think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost .
Walt Whitman
Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.
Walt Whitman
The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
Now understand me well. It is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.
Walt Whitman
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
In the faces of men and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
We consider bibles and religions divine I do not say they are not divine. I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still. It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life.
Walt Whitman
TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after-ward resumes its liberty.
Walt Whitman
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
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
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
Why are there men and women that while they are nigh me the sunlight expands my blood? Why when they leave me do my pennants of joy sink flat and lank?
Walt Whitman
I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent in any iota of the world I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects, vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than I have supposed.
Walt Whitman
Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry), Our life is closed, our life begins, The long, long anchorage we leave, The ship is clear at last, she leaps! She swiftly courses from the shore, Joy, shipmate, joy!
Walt Whitman
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
Over all the sky - the sky! Far, far out of reach, studded with eternal stars.
Walt Whitman
