Robert Frost
We're either nothing or a God's regret.

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

Robert Frost
The problem for the King is just how strict The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law And discipline should be in school and state.
Robert Frost
I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.
Robert Frost
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost
Nobody was ever meant, To remember or invent, What he did with every cent.
Robert Frost
Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.
Robert Frost
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Robert Frost
I hate the idea that you ought to read the whole of anybody.
