Have I not walked without an upward look Of caution under stars that very well Might not have missed me when they shot and fell? It was a risk I had to take-and took.

More quotes by Robert Frost
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost
Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space.
Robert Frost
Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Robert Frost
To be social is to be forgiving.
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
Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.
Robert Frost
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
A champion of the workingman has never been known to die of overwork.
Robert Frost
Summary riposte To the dreary wail There's no knowing what Love is all about. Poets know a lot.
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
Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.
Robert Frost
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
Robert Frost
Any work of art must first of all tell a story.
Robert Frost
Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes Is the deed ever truly done For Heaven and the future's sakes
Robert Frost
Writing a poem is discovering.
Robert Frost
You can't get too much winter in the winter.
Robert Frost
More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
Robert Frost
The only way round is through.
Robert Frost
Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.
Robert Frost
