More quotes by Walt Whitman
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
Liberty is to be subserved, whatever occurs.
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
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Walt Whitman
Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
Walt Whitman
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
Walt Whitman
The shallow, as intimated, consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
Walt Whitman
I accept reality and dare not question it.
Walt Whitman
Be not dishearten'd -- Affection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet Those who love each other shall become invincible.
Walt Whitman
A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.
Walt Whitman
The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
I say the whole earth and all the stars in the sky are for religion's sake.
Walt Whitman
Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.
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
O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
Walt Whitman
There is no God any more divine than Yourself.
Walt Whitman
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
Walt Whitman
The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman
