More quotes by Walt Whitman
The work for giants...to serve well the guns!
Walt Whitman
And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
Walt Whitman
The art of art, the glory of expression, is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity, and the sunlight of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity-nothing can make up for excess, or for the lack of definiteness.
Walt Whitman
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.
Walt Whitman
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
Walt Whitman
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman
Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.
Walt Whitman
Shut not your doors to me proud libraries.
Walt Whitman
This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.
Walt Whitman
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well.
Walt Whitman
In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?
Walt Whitman
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.
Walt Whitman
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
Day full-blown and splendid-day of the immense sun, action, ambition, laughter, The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and restoring darkness.
Walt Whitman
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
