"And as to you Death, and you..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.”

“To die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.”

“The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.”

“Death is very likely the single best invention of life.”

“I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. I see her, an old woman, weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. I see her and her husband, their course done, lying side by side in their last earthly bed, and I know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other's soul, than I was in the souls of both.”

“The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.”

“If Heaven and Earth are unable to persist, how could man?”

“Between us, and Hell or Heaven, there is only life between the two, which is the most fragile thing in the world.Variant: Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.”

“death is always sudden however long one waits.”
