 Have you learned the lessons only of 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 passage with you?

 He (President Abraham Lincoln) has a face like a hoosier Michael Angelo, so awful ugly it becomes beautiful, with its strange mouth, its deep-cut, criss-cross lines, and its doughnut complexion

 He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher

 Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.

 Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.

 How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!

 Hushed be the camps to-day. No more for him life's stormy conflicts, nor victory, nor defeat ? no more time's dark events.

 I accept reality and dare not question it

 I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.

 I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

 I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again, look for me under your boot-soles

 I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you

 I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

 I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
