Robert Frost

A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.

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

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

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.

We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much, when perhaps we should do less.

For an Italian peasant a telegram from anywhere is a wondrous thing; and a cable from the terrestrial paradise of America is not lightly to be disregarded.
