We ran as if to meet the moon.
Robert Frost
I'm always saying something that's just the edge of something more.
Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.
Robert Frost
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Robert Frost
There is absolutely no reason for being rushed along with the rush. Everybody should be free to go slow.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
Robert Frost
Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.
Robert Frost
You can't get too much winter in the winter.
Robert Frost
An idea is a feat of association.
Robert Frost
One aged man - one man - can't fill a house.
Robert Frost
We love the things we love for what they are.
Robert Frost
It's hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it, and what's in between doesn't make much sense.
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
What is done is done for the love of it- or not really done at all.
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
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.
Robert Frost
Many lovers have been divorced By having what is free enforced.
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
The old dog barks backward without getting up I can remember when he was a pup.
Robert Frost
The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think.
Robert Frost
