The destination cannot be described / You will know very little until you get there / You will journey blind.
T. S. Eliot
In my beginning is my end.
T. S. Eliot
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
T. S. Eliot
Ash on an old man's sleeve / Is all the ash the burnt roses leave, / Dust in the air suspended / Marks the place where a story ended.
T. S. Eliot
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless. The houses are all gone under the sea. The dancers are all gone under the hill.
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
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
When the gods know that a god hath fallen, With this kindly feeling They do encourage him-- Be thou a god again and again.
T. S. Eliot
You gave me hyacinths first a year ago They called me the hyacinth girl.' —Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither Living nor dead, and I knew nothing, Looking into the heart of light, the silence. Od' und leer das Meer.
T. S. Eliot
Dear Mother, I am getting on nicely in my work at the bank, and like it ... I want to find out something about the science of money while I am at it it is an extraordinarily interesting subject.
T. S. Eliot
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith The army of unalterable law.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an objective correlative in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula for that particular emotion such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.
T. S. Eliot
We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.
T. S. Eliot
The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
T. S. Eliot
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid.
T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time and place is always place and only place. And what is actual is actual only for one time. And only for one place. I rejoice that things are as they are.
T. S. Eliot
Any religion is forever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion.
T. S. Eliot
In the last few years everything I'd done up to sixty or so has seemed very childish.
T. S. Eliot
