More quotes by Robert Frost
I could give all to Time except--except What I myself have held.
Robert Frost
Every poem is a momentary stay against the confusion of the world.
Robert Frost
Man that is of woman born is apt to be as vain has his mother.
Robert Frost
The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.
Robert Frost
I play better tennis because the court is there.
Robert Frost
End is a gloomy word.
Robert Frost
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
Robert Frost
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued.
Robert Frost
The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
Robert Frost
The first thing I do in the morning is to make my bed and while I am making up my bed I am making up my mind as to what kind of a day I am going to have.
Robert Frost
We're either nothing or a God's regret.
Robert Frost
What is done is done for the love of it- or not really done at all.
Robert Frost
The people I am most afraid of are those who are the most afraid.
Robert Frost
Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear And once that seemed too much I lived on air.
Robert Frost
Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.
Robert Frost
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost
Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.
Robert Frost
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
Robert Frost
And nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope.
Robert Frost
