Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
Walt Whitman
Image
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
I speak the password primeval I give the sign of democracy.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever degrades another degrades me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Under the specious pretext of effecting 'the happiness of the whole community,' nearly all the wrongs and intrusions of government has been carried through.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
Image
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show of male and female that either is but the equal of the other.
Walt Whitman
Image
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Those who love each other shall become invincible.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
Oh, to be alive in such an age, when miracles are everywhere, and every inch of common air throbs a tremendous prophecy, of greater marvels yet to be.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.
Walt Whitman
Image
O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
Walt Whitman
Image
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
Image
Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love But now I think there is no unreturn'd love—the pay is certain, one way or another (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)
Walt Whitman
Image
I refuse putting from me the best that I am.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am larger, better than I thought I did not know I held so much goodness.
Walt Whitman
