More quotes by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.
Walt Whitman
The best writing has no lace on its sleeves.
Walt Whitman
Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.

Walt Whitman
