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.

I play better tennis because the court is there.
Robert Frost
I never take my own side in a quarrel.
Robert Frost
When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.
Robert Frost
A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.
Robert Frost
One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
Robert Frost
I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.
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
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
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
The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength. To feel the earth as rough to all my length
Robert Frost
Let me be the one To do what is done.
Robert Frost
Yes, of course [this age] is materialistic, but the only way to counteract it is to create spiritual things. Don't worry yourself about the materialism too much. Create and stir other people to create!
Robert Frost
Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.
Robert Frost
Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.
Robert Frost
The difference between a job and a career is the difference between forty and sixty hours a week.
Robert Frost
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed.
Robert Frost
Nature's never quite Sure she hasn't erred In her vague design.
Robert Frost
There would be more than ocean-water broken Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.
Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day.
Robert Frost
Nations like the Cuban and the Swiss Can never hope to wage a Global Mission. No Holy Wars for them. The most the small Can ever give us is a nuisance brawl.
