T. S. Eliot
We ask only to be reassured About the noises in the cellar And the window that should not have been open
T. S. Eliot
life is long between the desire and the spasm.
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot

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

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
When the whole world is running headlong towards the precipice, one who walks in the opposite direction is looked at as being crazy.
T. S. Eliot
Survival is your strength not your shame.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
T. S. Eliot
The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep at night he hunts God works in a mysterious way- The Church can sleep and feed at once.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is a mug's game.
T. S. Eliot
For every life and every act consequence of good and evil can be shown and as in time results of many deeds are blended so good and evil in the end become confounded.
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
