To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
T. S. Eliot
I think it was rather an advantage not having any living poets in England or America in whom one took any particular interest. I don't know what it would be like but I think it would be a rather troublesome distraction to have such a lot of dominating presences, as you call them, about. Fortunately we weren't bothered by each other.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
not fare well, but fare forward
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
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
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
Human kind cannot bear much reality.
T. S. Eliot
The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
T. S. Eliot
