More quotes by Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

"I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness.All seems beautiful to me.Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me; Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me."
"Resist much, obey little."
"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 celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."
"I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."
