"Freedom - to walk free and own..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels; he grows drunk with ecstasy; he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.”

“Now, dearest comrade, lift me to your face,We must separate awhileHere! take from my lips this kiss.Whoever you are, I give it especially to you;So long!And I hope we shall meet again.”

“Now understand me well. It is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.”

“He who is by nature not his own but another's man is by nature a slave.”

“Liberty is its own reward.”

“Mastery is proven only in limitation,and law alone can give us freedom.”

“Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.”

“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”

“My boyfriend and I broke up. He wanted to get married and I didn't want him to.”
