More quotes by Robert Frost
What are we? Young or new? We must be something.
Robert Frost
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
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
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
Robert Frost
Affection is an overpowering craving to be compellingly sought.
Robert Frost
The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
When I was young, I was so interested in baseball that my family was afraid I'd waste my life and be a pitcher. Later they were afraid I'd waste my life and be a poet. They were right.
Robert Frost
Tolerance is the uncomfortable feeling that in the end the other could be right.
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
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye.
Robert Frost
Let's get my incantation right: I wish I may, I wish I might Give earth another satellite.
Robert Frost
Out alone in the winter rain, / Intent on giving and taking pain.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
You, of course, are a rose-- But were always a rose.
Robert Frost
