More quotes by 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
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot
The historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of literature from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order.
T. S. Eliot
Sensibility alters from generation to generation in everybody, whether we will or no but expression is only altered by a man of genius.
T. S. Eliot
Composing on the typewriter, I find that I am sloughing off all my long sentences which I used to dote upon. Short, staccato, like modern French prose. The typewriter makes for lucidity, but I am not sure that it encourages subtlety.
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
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
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
All time is eternal, moving inexorably toward an end which we believe is a result of our actions, but over which our control is mere illusion.
T. S. Eliot
You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go.
T. S. Eliot
Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.
T. S. Eliot
A prose that is altogether alive demands something of the reader that the ordinary novel reader is not prepared to give.
T. S. Eliot
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
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
The only hope, or else despair Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre - To be redeemed from fire by fire.
T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
