More quotes by Walt Whitman
The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them
Walt Whitman
The city sleeps and the country sleeps, the living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time, the old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife and these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, and such as it is to be of these more or less I am, and of these one and all I weave the song of myself.
Walt Whitman
I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.
Walt Whitman
Now, dearest comrade, lift me to your face, We must separate awhileHere! take from my lips this kiss. Whoever you are, I give it especially to you So long!And I hope we shall meet again.
Walt Whitman
I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law Will you give me yourself?
Walt Whitman
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her that it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.
Walt Whitman
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Walt Whitman
I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.
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
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
Walt Whitman
There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.
Walt Whitman
Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
Walt Whitman
I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
Walt Whitman
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
Walt Whitman
Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul and your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
