Image
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual.
Walt Whitman
Image
Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.
Walt Whitman
Image
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Perhaps the efforts of the true poets, founders, religions, literatures, all ages, have been, and ever will be, our time and times to come, essentially the same - to bring people back from their present strayings and sickly abstractions, to the costless, average, divine, original concrete.
Walt Whitman
Image
You want to know a sure way to lose money? Buy what's popular and don't know what you are investing in.
Walt Whitman
Image
In the faces of men and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman
Image
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
Image
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
Image
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will not descend among professors and capitalists.
Walt Whitman
Image
Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.
Walt Whitman
Image
And as to me, I know nothing else but miracles
Walt Whitman
Image
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Walt Whitman
Image
Strange, (is it not?) that battles, martyrs, blood, even assassination should so condense - perhaps only really lastingly condense - a Nationality.
Walt Whitman
Image
Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting, Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems
