Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
From Walt Whitman
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
I exist as I am, that is enough.
Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
