Robert Frost Quotes

When I see birches bend to left and right... I like to think some boy’s been swinging them Picture Quote #1

There is little much beyond the grave, but the strong are saying nothing until they see Picture Quote #1

Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting... Read it a hundred times; it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went Picture Quote #1

We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn’t overwhelm us. We do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. We make a little form, and we gain composure Picture Quote #1

The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work Picture Quote #1

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself; and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do Picture Quote #1

I was under twenty when I deliberately put it to myself one night after good conversation that there are moments when we actually touch in talk what the best writing can only come near. The curse of our book language is not so much that it keeps forever to the same set phrases... but that it sounds forever with the same reading tones. We must go out into the vernacular for tones that haven’t been brought to book Picture Quote #1

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover’s quarrel with the world Picture Quote #1

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There was never a sound beside the wood but one, and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground Picture Quote #1

The world has room to make a bear feel free; the universe seems cramped to you and me Picture Quote #1

We disparage reason. But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with. there’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes. Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear Picture Quote #1

My apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, good fences make good neighbours Picture Quote #1

The little graveyard where my people are! So small the window frames the whole of it Picture Quote #1

Families break up when people take hints you don’t intend and miss hints you do intend Picture Quote #1

The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working when you get up in the morning, and doesn’t stop until you get to the office Picture Quote #1

Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being Picture Quote #1

Piling up knowledge is as bad as piling up money. You have to begin sometime to kick around what you know Picture Quote #1

But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep Picture Quote #1

One will never again look at a birch tree, after the Robert Frost poem, in exactly the same way Picture Quote #1

Robert Frost had always said you mustn’t think of the last line first, or it’s only a fake poem, not a real one. I’m inclined to agree Picture Quote #1

When Robert Frost was alive, I was known as the other new England poet, which is to be barely known at all Picture Quote #1
