Famous quotes containing the words robert f:

    “I told him this is a pleasant life,
    To set your breast to the bark of trees
    That all your days are dim beneath,
    And reaching up with a little knife,
    To loose the resin and take it down
    And bring it to market when you please.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
