More quotes by Walt Whitman
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
Man is about the same, in the main, whether with despotism, or whether with freedom.
Walt Whitman
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
O captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The ship has weather'd every wrack The prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear The people all exulting While follow eyes, the steady keel The vessel grim and daring But Heart! Heart! Heart! O the bleeding drops of red Where on the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead.
Walt Whitman
Whoever you are, motion and reflection are especially for you, The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.
Walt Whitman
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman
What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?
Walt Whitman
A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.
Walt Whitman
I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.
Walt Whitman
And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
Walt Whitman
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd / And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night, / I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Walt Whitman
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compassionate, fully armed I announce a life that shall be copious, vehement, spiritual, bold, And I announce an end that shall lightly and joyfully meet its translation.
Walt Whitman
I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent in any iota of the world I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects, vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than I have supposed.
Walt Whitman
O America! Because you build for mankind I build for you.
Walt Whitman
I henceforth tread the world, chaste, temperate, an early riser, a steady grower.
Walt Whitman
Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman
The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual.
Walt Whitman
There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
Walt Whitman
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
Walt Whitman
