Quote: Walt Whitman

"When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room, how soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wandered off by myself, in the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, looked up in perfect silence at the stars.

-  Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)

Quote: Walt Whitman (1819-1891)

“Have you learned lessons only from those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed the passage with you?”

Quote: Walt Whitman (1819-1891)

“Why, who makes much of a miracle?
As to me, I know nothing else but miracles -
To me every hour of night and day is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space a miracle.”
