More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot
In the end is my beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Ash on an old man's sleeve / Is all the ash the burnt roses leave, / Dust in the air suspended / Marks the place where a story ended.
T. S. Eliot
The destination cannot be described / You will know very little until you get there / You will journey blind.
T. S. Eliot
Everyone's alone - or so it seems to me. They make noises, and think they are talking to each other They make faces, and think they understand each other. And I'm sure they don't. Is that a delusion?
T. S. Eliot
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
T. S. Eliot
It is not enough to understand what we ought to be, unless we know what we are and we do not understand what we are, unless we know what we ought to be.
T. S. Eliot
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
You must not on any account give me credit for being penetrating. I have impressed people that way before, and the result is always disaster.
T. S. Eliot
From a purely external point of view there is no will and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy we observe aman's actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.
T. S. Eliot
No generation is interested in art in quite the same way as any other each generation, like each individual, brings to the contemplation of art its own categories of appreciation, makes its own demands upon art, and has its own uses for art.
T. S. Eliot
Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
T. S. Eliot
What a poem means is as much what it means to others as what it means to the author and indeed, in the course of time a poet may become merely reader in respect to his own works, forgetting his original meaning.
T. S. Eliot
Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
Any religion is forever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion.
T. S. Eliot
Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws? She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
