Walt Whitman
Image
All beauty comes from beautiful blood and a beautiful brain.

Walt Whitman
Image
Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman

In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
Image
To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom - one brief hour of madness and joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
A simple separate person is not contained between his hat and his boots.
Walt Whitman
Image
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
Walt Whitman
Image
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.
