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

“Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.”

“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”

“I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise,”

“Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,”

“Resist much, obey little.”

“The road to wisdom is paved with excess.”

“I opened my veins. Unstoppably”

“forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.”

“The Author To Her Book”

“Someone once told me that explaining is an admission of failure.”

“When it comes, you’ll be dreaming”

“To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor”
