More quotes by T. S. Eliot
No one can become really educated without having pursued some study in which he took no interest- for it is a part of education to learn to interest ourselves in subjects for which we have no aptitude.
T. S. Eliot
A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
To men of a certain type The suspicion that they are incapable of loving Is as disturbing to their self-esteem As, in cruder men, the fear of impotence.
T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
T. S. Eliot
The Nobel is a ticket to one's own funeral. No one has ever done anything after he got it.
T. S. Eliot
To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
T. S. Eliot
You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
T. S. Eliot
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
It's harder to confess the sin that no one believes in Than the crime that everyone can appreciate. For the crime is in relation to the law And the sin is in relation to the sinner.
T. S. Eliot
Gin and drugs, dear lady, gin and drugs.
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
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God and this has never happened before.
T. S. Eliot
