Robert Frost
You're searching... For things that don't exist I mean beginnings. Ends and beginnings - there are no such things. There are only middles.
Robert Frost
The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
Robert Frost
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost
We're either nothing or a God's regret.
Robert Frost
