Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself... - Walt Whitman
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large -- I contain multitudes."
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large -- I contain multitudes."
"I have learned that to be with those I like is enough."
"Songs of myselfI am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul, The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me, The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue. I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,.."
"I act as the tongue of you,... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened."
"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."
"This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me"
