"I hope to leave behind a few..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil "Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too."”

“Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.”

“You're searching...For things that don't exist; I mean beginnings.Ends and beginnings - there are no such things.There are only middles.”

“I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.”

“I have often argued that a poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child. I begin to suspect that there may be some truth in it.”

“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”

“The fame of the rich man dies with him; the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.”

“Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?”

“When the record book on you is finished, let it show your wins and losses. But don't let it show you didn't try.”
