Do you know, Considering the market, there are more Poems produced than any other thing? No wonder poets sometimes have to seem So much more businesslike than businessmen. Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.

More quotes by Robert Frost
I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.
Robert Frost
What are we? Young or new? We must be something.
Robert Frost
Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?
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
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Robert Frost
Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
Robert Frost
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
They would not find me changed from him they knew - only more sure of all I thought was true.
Robert Frost
It was far in the sameness of the wood I was running with joy on the Demon's trail, Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.
Robert Frost
But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.
Robert Frost
Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that's what a poet is doing: loosening the words.
Robert Frost
We love the things we love for what they are.
Robert Frost
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
There is absolutely no reason for being rushed along with the rush. Everybody should be free to go slow.
Robert Frost
We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.
Robert Frost
Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.
Robert Frost
Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost
We disparage reason. But all the time it's what we're most concerned with. There's will as motor and there's will as brakes. Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.
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
It is only a moment here and a moment there that the greatest writer has. Some cognizance of the fact must be taken in your teaching.
Robert Frost
