Robert Frost
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.
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
Don't be agnostic - be something.
