My little notebooks were beginnings - they were the ground into which I dropped the seed... I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home.

More quotes by Walt Whitman
I henceforth tread the world, chaste, temperate, an early riser, a steady grower.
Walt Whitman
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines.
Walt Whitman
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
Walt Whitman
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman
Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
Walt Whitman
I swear I will never henceforth have to do with the faith that tells the best! I will have to do only with that faith that leaves the best untold.
Walt Whitman
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
Walt Whitman
I am an acme of things accomplished, and I an encloser of things to be.
Walt Whitman
To die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
Walt Whitman
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Walt Whitman
The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.
Walt Whitman
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
And I will show of male and female that either is but the equal of the other.
Walt Whitman
O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!
Walt Whitman
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Walt Whitman
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son, Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding, No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them, No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman
