Walt Whitman Quotes
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women. A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains. All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor. And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death. And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero. And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud. And your very flesh shall be a great poem. Be curious, not judgmental. Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself. Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes. Every moment of light and dark is a miracle. Freedom - to walk free and own no superior. Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. 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. Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you? He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher. Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune. Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. I accept reality and dare not question it.
