Walt Whitman Quotes About Heaven

Quotes about: Heaven

• I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journeywork of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren, And the tree toad is a chef-d'oeurve for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue, And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels!

  Walt Whitman

  Running, Depressing, Stars

  Walt Whitman, “Song Of Myself, XXXI”

• There was never any more inception than there is now,
  Nor any more youth or age than there is now;
  And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
  Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.

  Walt Whitman

  Perfection, Heaven, Age

  Walt Whitman (1855). “Leaves of Grass”, p.14

• Well, every man has a religion; has something in heaven or earth which he will give up everything else for - something which absorbs him - which may be regarded by others as being useless - yet it is his dream, it is his lodestar, it is his master. That, whatever it is, seized upon me, made me its servant, slave - induced me to set aside the other ambitions a trail of glory in the heavens, which I followed, followed with a full heart. ...When once I am convinced, I never let go.

  Walt Whitman

  Letting Go, Dream, Giving Up
