Famous quotes by robert frost:

    This wide flight we wave
    At the stars or moon
    Means that we approve
    Of them on the move.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    He would cry out on life, that what it wants
    Is not its own love back in copy speech,
    But counter-love, original response.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    And yet for all this help of head and brain
    How happily instinctive we remain,
    Our best guide upward further to the light,
    Passionate preference such as love at sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
    On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
    Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
    Assorted characters of death and blight
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
