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
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
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
We ran as if to meet the moon.
