More quotes by Walt Whitman
I accept reality and dare not question it.
Walt Whitman
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
Walt Whitman
An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman
It is a beautiful truth that all men contain something of the artist in them. And perhaps it is the case that the greatest artists live and die, the world and themselves alike ignorant what they possess.
Walt Whitman
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.
Walt Whitman
And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.
Walt Whitman
I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.
Walt Whitman
We arrange our lives-even the best and boldest men and women that exist, just as much as the most limited-with reference to what society conventionally rules and makes right.
Walt Whitman
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.
Walt Whitman
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side...The Bending forward and backward of the rowers...
Walt Whitman
The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.
Walt Whitman
Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.
Walt Whitman
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Over all the sky - the sky! Far, far out of reach, studded with eternal stars.
Walt Whitman
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman
O the joy of my spirit--it is uncaged--it darts like lightning! It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all time.
Walt Whitman
O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.
Walt Whitman
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
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
