re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.
[From the preface to Leaves Grass]

I will be your poet, I will be more to you than to any of the rest.
Walt WhitmanStudying life, eh! Let him take care, studying human life is looking at the stars. If you look too close, there is a dazzle.
Walt WhitmanI have hardly gone and hardly wish'd to go any farther.
Walt WhitmanI accept Time absolutely.
It alone is without flaw,
It alone rounds and completes all,
That mystic baffling wonder.
Me celebro y me canto a mí mismo.
Y lo que yo diga ahora de mí, lo digo de ti,
porque lo que yo tengo lo tienes tú
y cada átomo de mi cuerpo es tuyo también.
Quédate hoy conmigo,
vive conmigo un día y una noche
y te mostraré el origen de todos los poemas.
La hojita más pequeña de hierba nos enseña que la muerte no existe;
que si alguna vez existió, fue sólo para producir la vida.
