Poetry Quote by Walt Whitman — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road.”

“Copulation is no more foul to me than death is.”

“Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting, Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems”

“Of Equality--as if it harm'd me, giving others the same chances and rights as myself--as if it were not indispensable to my own rights that others possess the same.”

“I have said that the soul is not more than the body,”

“The road to wisdom is paved with excess.”

“I had embraced you...”

“It's better to swim in the sea below”

“April is the cruelest month, breeding”

“Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun”

“She was another broken doll dreaming of a boy with glue.”

“Poetry is the scholar's art.”
