I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day.
Robert Frost
Nothing flatters me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose, unless it be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction.
Robert Frost
The truly educated can listen to any view without losing their temper or self-confidence.
Robert Frost
Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?
Robert Frost
There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man -fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.
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
Man that is of woman born is apt to be as vain has his mother.

And one of the three great things in the world is gossip, you know. First there's religion and then there's science and there's-and then there's friendly gossip. Those are the three-the three great things.
Robert Frost
I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.
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
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.
Robert Frost
Keep all ur troubles in ur own pocket. But, make sure that the pocket has a hole!
Robert Frost
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism it's egotism.
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
The sidelong glance is what you depend on.
Robert Frost
Everything written is as good as it is dramatic. It need not declare itself in form, but it is drama or nothing.
Robert Frost
