Walt Whitman Quotes About Books

• Esto es lo que debes hacer: amar a la tierra y al sol y a los animales, despreciar las riquezas, dar limosna a todo el que te la pida, defender a los estúpidos y a los locos, dedicar tus ingresos y tu trabajo a los demás, odiar a los tiranos, no discutir acerca de Dios, tener paciencia e indulgencia con la gente, no quitarte el sombrero ante nada conocido ni desconocido ni ante ningún hombre o número de hombres... reexamina todo lo que te han dicho en la escuela o en la iglesia o en cualquier libro, desecha lo que insulta a tu propia alma, y tu propia carne será un gran poema.

• Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,and dismiss whatever insults your own soul... It is also not consistent with the reality of the soul to admit that there is anything in the known universe more divine than men and women. The master knows that he is unspeakably great and that all are unspeakably great. There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place.A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man,and every man shall be his own priest.
