More quotes by Walt Whitman
And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.
Walt Whitman
An individual is as superb as a nation when he has the qualities which make a superb nation.
Walt Whitman
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
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.
Walt Whitman
Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle that the reader is to do something for himself.
Walt Whitman
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth ever afterward resumes its liberty.
Walt Whitman
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
Walt Whitman
Wisdom is not finally tested by the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.
Walt Whitman
This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.
Walt Whitman
I dance with the dancers.
Walt Whitman
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Walt Whitman
Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
Walt Whitman
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
These are the days that must happen to you.
Walt Whitman
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
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first Be not discouraged - keep on - there are divine things, well envelop'd I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing is lacking, Yet all were lacking if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the right man were lacking.
Walt Whitman
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
Manhattan streets with their powerful throbs, with beating drums as now, The endless and noisy chorus, the rustle and clank of muskets, (even the sight of the wounded,) Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus! Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
Walt Whitman
