I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. -- Walt Whitman

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. --

Only a burning patience will lead to the attainment of a splendid happiness.

My words itch at your ears till you understand them. -- Walt Whitman
