And one of the three great things in the world is gossip, you know. First there's religion and then there's science and there's-and then there's friendly gossip. Those are the three-the three great things.

I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems.

One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
Robert Frost
Image
Nearly everybody is looking for something brave to do. I don't know why people shouldn't write poetry. That's brave.
Robert Frost
Image
No memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.
Robert Frost
Image
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
Robert Frost
Image
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.

Image
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.

Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.
Robert Frost
Image
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing: And now from having ridden out desire They lie closed over in the wind and cling Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
Robert Frost
Image
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.
Robert Frost
Image
Let's get my incantation right: I wish I may, I wish I might Give earth another satellite.
Robert Frost
Image
There is no love. There's only love of men and women, love Of children, love of friends, of men, of God: Divine love, human love, parental love, Roughly discriminated for the rough.

If the day ever comes when they know who They are, they may know better where they are.

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

Word I was in my life alone, / Word I had no one left but God.

I play better tennis because the court is there.

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

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.

Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.
