Walt Whitman Quotes
"Give me the splendid silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling""Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me""The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual""The light is the same as it always was""Silence? What can be better than to sit thus by the hour and be soothed with the world""The sum of the parts and of all wholses is the Soul""I dote on myself, there is that lot of me and all so luscious""Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself""The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer: That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse""The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse""Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won""I believe in the flesh and the appetites""This hour I tell things in confidence.""I am satisfied... I see, dance, laugh, sing.""Freedom – to walk free and own no superior.""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.""I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.""The beautiful uncut hair of graves.""Do anything, but let it produce joy.""I am for those who believe in loose delights."
