There was never any more inception than there is now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now And will never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.

More quotes by Walt Whitman
This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.
Walt Whitman
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.
Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
People who serve you without love get even behind your back.
Walt Whitman
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish what good amid these, O me, O life?
Walt Whitman
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
Walt Whitman
A simple separate person is not contained between his hat and his boots.
Walt Whitman
The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night, Ya-honk! he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation: The pert may suppose it meaningless, but I listen closer, I find its purpose and place up there toward the November sky.
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
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
Out of every fruition of success, no matter what, comes forth something to make a new effort necessary.
Walt Whitman
I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.
Walt Whitman
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Walt Whitman
