“From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines.”

“From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master...”

“Do I contradict myself?Very well then I contradict myself,(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”

“This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.”

“Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.”

“When I give, I give myself”

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