Whitman/people

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or people:

    Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
    Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
    Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
    the hearses,
    So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
