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 wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.
Walt Whitman
Image
Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.
Walt Whitman
Image
Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman
Image
Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
Image
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
Image
I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
Walt Whitman
Image
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
Image
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman
Image
My call is the call of battle- I nourish active rebellion/ He going with me must go well armed.
Walt Whitman
Image
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
Walt Whitman
Image
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
Walt Whitman
Image
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.
Walt Whitman
Image
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.
Walt Whitman

Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman

What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
