Yes, I kid you not, I like Robert Frost so much that I actually do have an entire page in my book filled with quotes from him… so here is an entire blog dedicated to those quotes. I’ve heard that he seemed to be a bit of a jerk while he was alive, however, I’m not entirely sure I can blame him for that, as his life was rather tragedy-ridden.
You may have seen some of these before since two of the quotes below are actually from two of his poems that we’ve featured on YAA: The Road Not Taken and Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. Yeah, I’ll admit it, I also like Frost’s poems. Maybe I like his work so much because we share the same birth month and date… nah, just jokes, I actually do really like his work. =] And just throwing this out there in case any of you decide to look his work up, I also love After Apple Picking, Birches, and Dust of Snow, in addition to the two previously mentioned, heh.
I quite like these quotes. Maybe it’s just me, but I like the humour I’m sensing from them. You also might see some of these quotes again under other categories I have planned. But enough rambling, I’ll get to them:
A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Freedom lies in being bold.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.
The best way out is always through.
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.
Cheers, more quotes are on their way. ; )
