Let me be the one To do what is done.
Robert Frost
Don't be agnostic - be something.

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
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
Summoning artists to participate In the august occasions of the state Seems something artists ought to celebrate. Today is for my cause a day of days.
Robert Frost
End is a gloomy word.
Robert Frost
We love the things we love for what they are.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
Earth would soon Be uninhabitable as the moon. What for that matter had it ever been? Who advised man to come and live therein?
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
Robert Frost
Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
Robert Frost
The only way out is through.
Robert Frost
Evolution is like walking on a rolling barrel. The walker isn't so much interested in where the barrel is going as he is in keeping on top of it.
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
Have I not walked without an upward look Of caution under stars that very well Might not have missed me when they shot and fell? It was a risk I had to take-and took.
Robert Frost
If the writer does not cry, the reader does not cry.
