“In all your years and all your travels,' journalist Ray Josephs asked, "what do you think is the most important thing you’ve learned about life?

Frost paused a moment, then with the twinkle sparkling under those brambly eyebrows, he replied:

In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. In all the confusions of today, with all our troubles . . . with politicians and people slinging the word fear around, all of us become discouraged . . . tempted to say this is the end, the finish. But life — it goes on. It always has. It always will. Don’t forget that.

–Robert Frost, on his 80th birthday, speaking to journalist Ray Josephs, 1954”
