Robert Frost quotes

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

I turned to speak to God
About the world's despair
But to make bad matters worse
I found God wasn't there.
Robert Frost

Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
Robert Frost

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Robert Frost

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's. He's more
particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a
Democrat.
Robert Frost

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
Robert Frost

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
