More quotes by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships The varied and ample land,--the South And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.
Walt Whitman
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth I dreamed that was the new City of Friends Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust loveāit led the rest It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Walt Whitman
Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle that the reader is to do something for himself.
