Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty.

None has begun to think how divine he himself is and how certain the future is.

Thought
Of equality- as if it harm'd me,
giving others the same chances
and rights as myself-
as if it were not indispensable
to my own rights
that others possess the same.
