"I sing the body electric...." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.”

“WE two boys together clinging, One the other never leaving, Up and down the roads going, North and South excursions making, Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching, Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving. No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening, Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing, Fulfilling our foray.”

“I am the man, I suffered, I was there.”

“Your blood coagulates beautifully.”

“I wear my heart on my sleeve. I wear my liver on my pant leg.”

“The brain may be regarded as a kind of parasite of the organism, a pensioner, as it were, who dwells with the body.”

“Let your joy be unconfined!”

“I smoked my first cigar in 1991, when we won the championship. Up to that point, I had never smoked a cigar, never smoked anything.”

“When I play on my fiddle in DooneyFolk dance like a wave on the sea.”
