Whoever you are, now I place ...

Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Did you, too, O friend, suppo...

Did you, too, O friend, suppose democracy was only for elections, for politics, and for a party name? I say democracy is only of use there that it may pass on and come to its flower and fruit in manners, in the highest forms of interaction between people, and their beliefs - in religion, literature, colleges and schools- democracy in all public and private life.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Lo, the most excellent sun so...

Lo, the most excellent sun so calm and haughty, The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes, The gentle soft-born measureless light, The miracle spreading bathing all, the fulfill'd noon, The coming eve delicious, the welcome night and the stars, Over my cities shining all, enveloping man and land.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

All truths wait in all things...

All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

There will soon be no more pr...

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.

Those who love each other shall become invincible.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.

I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough, To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough, To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough, To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then? I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I celebrate myself, And what I...

I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

O to be self balanced for cont...

O to be self balanced for contingencies! O to confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs as trees and animals do!

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I think I could turn and live ...

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

There is no flaw or vacuum in ...

There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception; And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The past, the future, majesty,...

The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The fruition of beauty is no c...

The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.

There's no doubt that I've deserved my enemies, but I don't think I've deserved my friends.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Re-examine all you have been t...

Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,and dismiss whatever insults your own soul... It is also not consistent with the reality of the soul to admit that there is anything in the known universe more divine than men and women. The master knows that he is unspeakably great and that all are unspeakably great. 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 th

My ties and ballasts leave me ...

My ties and ballasts leave me - I travel - I sail - My elbows rest in the sea-gaps. I skirt the sierras. My palms cover continents - I am afoot with my vision.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

And as to you Death, and you b...

And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Wisdom is not finally tested i...

Wisdom is not finally tested in schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof, Applies to all stages and objects and qualities and is content, Is the certainty of the reality and immortality of things, and the excellence of things; Something there is in the float of the sight of things that provokes it out of the soul.
