This is a short quote I found recently. A colleague from the Conservatoire used the first line in a choral piece he wrote, and I was very impressed by the depth of the text. Here it is, it's a fragment of the Song of Myself by Walt Whitman:
I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.
