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.

More quotes by Walt Whitman
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
In the faces of men and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
So here I sit in the early candle-light of old age-I and my book-casting backward glances over out travel'd road.
Walt Whitman
Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? Well I have, for the Fourth-month showers have, and the mica on the side of a rock has.
Walt Whitman
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Walt Whitman
And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
Walt Whitman
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman
Of all mankind the great poet is the equable man. Not in him but off from him things are grotesque or eccentric or fail of their sanity.
