Robert Frost

The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.

A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.

Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.
