More quotes by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
I was in the midst of it all - saw war where war is worst - not on the battlefields, no - in the hospitals ... there I mixed with it: and now I say God damn the wars - allw ars: God damn every war: God damn 'em! God damn 'em!
Walt Whitman
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
I refuse putting from me the best that I am.
Walt Whitman
The work for giants...to serve well the guns!
Walt Whitman
Strong and content I travel the open road.
Walt Whitman
