One poet who I haven't written about on this blog is Robert Frost- and it's long over-due. Frost is one of the first poets I ever read at my dad's request and he's the poet who truly got me into reading poetry and not just writing it. 'The Road Not Taken' is the first poem I read and to this day I believe it to be one of the best poems I've read. I highly recommend giving Frost a read, and if not hi other work; at least The Road Not Taken.
In any case, I'll leave you some quotes now. "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life- it goes on." "How many things would you attempt, if you knew you could not fail?" "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." "Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up." "A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday; but never her age." "Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." "Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length." "Freedom lies in being bold." "The best way out it always through." "Never cut what you can untie." "I am not a teacher, but an awakener." "You're searching for things that don't exist: ends and beginnings. There are no such things- there are only middles." "I write to find out what I didn't know I knew." "Two paths diverged in a wood and I- I took the one less traveled by; and that has made all the difference."
