A man has got to keep his extrication. The important thing is not to get bogged down In what he has to do to earn a living.
Robert Frost

Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.

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.

One of the hardest things in life to accept is a called third strike.
Robert Frost
Image
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
Image
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

Oh, come forth into the storm and rout And be my love in the rain.

A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.

What you want, what you're hanging around in the world waiting for, is for something to occur to you.

A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.

Poetry should be common in experience but uncommon in books.

The best thing we're put here for's to see The strongest thing that's given us to see with's a telescope. Someone in every town, seems to me, owes it to the town to keep one.
