More quotes by Robert Frost
I'd like to get away from earth awhile / And then come back to it and begin over.
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
States strong enough to do good are but few. Their number would seem limited to three.
Robert Frost
Nations like the Cuban and the Swiss Can never hope to wage a Global Mission. No Holy Wars for them. The most the small Can ever give us is a nuisance brawl.
Robert Frost
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
Robert Frost
Don't be agnostic - be something.
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
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
Life is tons of discipline.
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
Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
Robert Frost
One aged man - one man - can't fill a house.
Robert Frost
Good fences make good neighbors.
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
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
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
Affection is an overpowering craving to be compellingly sought.
Robert Frost
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye.
Robert Frost
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
