Every moment of light and dark is a miracle. - Walt Whitman

"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 bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I loveIf you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.You will hardly know who I am or what I meanBut I shall be good health to you nonethelessAnd filter and fibre your blood."

"Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul."

"What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life."

"Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch."
