More quotes by Robert Frost
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.
Robert Frost
Diplomacy, n : 1. The patriotic art of lying for one's country. 2. The art of letting someone have your way. 3. The art of saying 'nice doggy' until you can find a rock. A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Robert Frost
I only hope that when I am free, as they are free to go in quest, of the knowledge beyond the bounds of life, it may not seem better to me to rest.
Robert Frost
Nobody was ever meant, To remember or invent, What he did with every cent.
Robert Frost
It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.
Robert Frost
Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago.
Robert Frost
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods.
Robert Frost
End is a gloomy word.
Robert Frost
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Robert Frost
There is no love. There's only love of men and women, love Of children, love of friends, of men, of God: Divine love, human love, parental love, Roughly discriminated for the rough.
Robert Frost
Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
Robert Frost
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Robert Frost
Yes, of course [this age] is materialistic, but the only way to counteract it is to create spiritual things. Don't worry yourself about the materialism too much. Create and stir other people to create!
Robert Frost
Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
Robert Frost
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
Robert Frost
Let those possess the land, and only those, Who love it with a love so strong and stupid That they may be abused and taken advantage of And made fun of by business, law, and art.
Robert Frost
Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
