More quotes by Walt Whitman
What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
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 find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.
Walt Whitman
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
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
I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.
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
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
Walt Whitman
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
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
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
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
Oh captain my captain
Walt Whitman
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
