Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
T. S. Eliot
In order to possess what you do not possess, you must go by the way of dispossession.
T. S. Eliot
Every nation, every race, has not only its own creative, but its own critical turn of mind and is even more oblivious of the shortcomings and limitations of its critical habits than of those of its creative genius.
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
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
T. S. Eliot
I hate university towns and university people, who are the same everywhere, with pregnant wives, sprawling children, many books and hideous pictures on the walls ... Oxford is very pretty, but I don't like to be dead.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
T. S. Eliot
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with a talent for squad-drill.
T. S. Eliot
The single Rose Is now the Garden Where all loves end
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
When forced to work within a strict framework, the imagination is taxed to its utmost and will produce its richest ideas. Given total freedom, the work is likely to sprawl.
T. S. Eliot
It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.
T. S. Eliot
