Walt Whitman

I merely stir, press, feel with my fingers, and am happy, To touch my person to someone else’s is about as much as I can stand.

Walt Whitman

I see great things in baseball. It’s our game – the American game.

Walt Whitman

I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.

Walt Whitman

I swear I will never mention love or death inside a house, And I swear I never will translate myself at all, only to him or her who privately stays with me in the open air.

Walt Whitman

I think I could always live with animals. The more you’re around people, the more you love animals.

Walt Whitman

I too am not a bit tamed. I too am untranslatable.

Walt Whitman

I will be your poet, I will be more to you than to any of the rest.

Walt Whitman

I will not descend among professors and capitalists.

Walt Whitman

I will sleep no more but arise, You oceans that have been calm within me! how I feel you, fathomless, stirring, preparing unprecedented waves and storms.

Walt Whitman

If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
