More quotes by Walt Whitman

"I have learned that to be with those I like is enough."
"Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love; But now I think there is no unreturn'd love—the pay is certain, one way or another; (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd; Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)"
"Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul."
"The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity."
"Songs of myselfClear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul. Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen, Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn."
