More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Good poets borrow, great poets steal
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates.
T. S. Eliot
Shape without form, shade without color, Paralyzed force, gesture without motion Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom Remember us-if at all-not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men.
T. S. Eliot
They don't understand what it is to be awake, / To be living on several planes at once / Though one cannot speak with several voices at once.
T. S. Eliot
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is JennyanydotsHer coat is one of the tabby kind,with tiger stripes and lepard spots.
T. S. Eliot
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T. S. Eliot
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
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
