More quotes by Walt Whitman
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
The real war will never get in the books.
Walt Whitman
In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
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
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
These are the days that must happen to you.
Walt Whitman
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail
Walt Whitman
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
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
The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them
Walt Whitman
O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
Walt Whitman
The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.
Walt Whitman
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side...The Bending forward and backward of the rowers...
Walt Whitman
There's no doubt that I've deserved my enemies, but I don't think I've deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
Walt Whitman
By writing at the instant, the very heartbeat of life is caught.
Walt Whitman
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
Walt Whitman
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
Walt Whitman
