More quotes by Walt Whitman
What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires - how many aspirations after goodness and truth - how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!
Walt Whitman
I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
Walt Whitman
God is a mean-spirited, pugnacious bully bent on revenge against His children for failing to live up to his impossible standards.
Walt Whitman
The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that loves unrequited sleeps, The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps, And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep.
Walt Whitman
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Walt Whitman
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
Walt Whitman
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Walt Whitman
This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.
Walt Whitman
