Robert Frost

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."

"Poetry is what gets lost in translation."

"If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane."

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself."

"The best way out is always through."

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."

"Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in."

"A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

"For dear me, why abandon a beliefMerely because it ceases to be true"

"We ran as if to meet the moon."

"The best way out is always through."

"Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on TheeAnd I'll forgive Thy great big one on me."

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference."

"A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

"Freedom lies in being bold."

"Nor is there wanting in the pressSome spirit to stand simply forth,Heroic in it nakedness,Against the uttermost of earth.The tale of earth's unhonored thingsSounds nobler there than 'neath the sun;And the mind whirls and the heart sings,And a shout greets the daring one."

"The way a crowShook down on meThe dust of snowFrom a hemlock treeHas given my heartA change of moodAnd saved some partOf a day I had rued."

"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader."
