More quotes by Robert Frost
You've often heard me say - perhaps too often - that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.
Robert Frost
Skepticism, is that anything more than we used to mean when we said, Well, what have we here?
Robert Frost
The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash. Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that's what a poet is doing: loosening the words.
Robert Frost
A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.
Robert Frost
Nearly everybody is looking for something brave to do. I don't know why people shouldn't write poetry. That's brave.
Robert Frost
Freedom lies in being bold.
Robert Frost
Many lovers have been divorced By having what is free enforced.
Robert Frost
Something sinister in the tone Told me my secret must be known: Word I was in the house alone Somehow must have gotten abroad, Word I was in my life alone, Word I had no one left but God.
Robert Frost
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
Robert Frost
The only way out is to go through
Robert Frost
I'm not a teacher, but an awakener.
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
Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost
End is a gloomy word.
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
There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is the most important of all to reach the heart of the reader.
Robert Frost
Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in its nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth.
Robert Frost
The best way to hate is the worst. 'Tis to find what the hated need, Never mind of what actual worth, And wipe that out of the earth. Let them die of unsatisfied greed.
Robert Frost
The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to the ocean- Holding the curve of one position, Counting an endless repetition.
Robert Frost
