He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, Good fences make good neighbors.

Robert Frost
Do you know, Considering the market, there are more Poems produced than any other thing? No wonder poets sometimes have to seem So much more businesslike than businessmen. Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.

Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.
Robert Frost
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
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

Robert Frost
The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
Robert Frost
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
All the fun is in how you say a thing.
Robert Frost
We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.
Robert Frost
An idea is a feat of association.
Robert Frost
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.
Robert Frost
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing: And now from having ridden out desire They lie closed over in the wind and cling Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
