Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.

More quotes by Robert Frost
Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.
Robert Frost
A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.
Robert Frost
If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.
Robert Frost
Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun.
Robert Frost
The rose is a rose, And was always a rose. But the theory now goes That the apple's a rose.
Robert Frost
Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.
Robert Frost
I'd like to get away from earth awhile / And then come back to it and begin over.
Robert Frost
Earth would soon Be uninhabitable as the moon. What for that matter had it ever been? Who advised man to come and live therein?
Robert Frost
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
Robert Frost
Hell is a half-filled auditorium.
Robert Frost
Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?
Robert Frost
You can't get too much winter in the winter.
Robert Frost
The truth is the river flows into the canyon Of Ceasing-to-Question-What-Doesn't-Concern-Us, As sooner or later we have to cease somewhere.
Robert Frost
They would not find me changed from him they knew - only more sure of all I thought was true.
Robert Frost
Nearly everybody is looking for something brave to do. I don't know why people shouldn't write poetry. That's brave.
Robert Frost
Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes Is the deed ever truly done For Heaven and the future's sakes
Robert Frost
One of the hardest things in life to accept is a called third strike.
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Robert Frost
