    Great Robert Frost quotations?

    From his poem The Armful "But I may be one who does not care / Ever to have tree bloom or bear."

    I like two Frost anecdotes (I have no idea if either actually happened):

    The first: Frost was sitting on the porch after a dinner party. "Isn't the sunset lovely, Mr. Frost," said a young lady.

    "I never discuss business after dinner," Frost replied.

    The second: "I just love your latest poem, Mr. Frost. But I'm not sure I quite understand it. What exactly did you mean?"

    "What?" replied Frost. "Do you want me to say it over again in worser English?"

    I like Robert Frost's description of free verse: "Playing tennis without a net."

    Here's one I found after searching for Frost quotes. I don't know where it's from. Here are more: http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Robert_Frost

    "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

    "Home is the place where ,when you have to go there,
    They have to take you in."

    That is probably the best definition of "home" anyone has ever come up with. This goes way beyond Dorothy's longing for home in "The Wizard of Oz" and includes even those who have no desire to back.
