All those who try to go it sole alone, Too proud to be beholden for relief, Are absolutely sure to come to grief.

I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems.

The sidelong glance is what you depend on.

You've got to love what's lovable, and hate what's hateable. It takes brains to see the difference.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

All those who try to go it sole alone, Too proud to be beholden for relief, Are absolutely sure to come to grief.

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
