Famous quotes containing the words frost and/or depth:

    The question is whether they’ve reached a depth
    Of desperation that would warrant poetry’s
    Leaving love’s alternations, joy and grief,
    The weather’s alternations, summer and winter,
    Our age-long theme, for the uncertainty
    Of judging who is a contemporary liar....
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
