"Stop this day and night with me..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.”

“The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.”

“I sing the body electric.”

“We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.”

“A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.”

“A man who has to go to the village to get the news hasn't heard from himself in a long time.”

“Poets are not so scrupulous as you are. They know how useful passion is for publication. Nowadays a broken heart will run to many editions." "I hate them for it," cried Hallward. "An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty. Some day I will show the world what is it; and for that the world shall never see my portrait of Dorian Gray.”

“The language of the poem is the language of particulars.”

“Poetry is a life-cherishing force.”
