More quotes by T. S. Eliot
It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are... ...We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
T. S. Eliot
I must tell you that I should really like to think there's something wrong with me- Because, if there isn't, then there's something wrong with the world itself-and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible. So I'd rather believe there is something wrong with me, that could be put right.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
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
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
With cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to.
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is JennyanydotsHer coat is one of the tabby kind,with tiger stripes and lepard spots.
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
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.
T. S. Eliot
We fight to keep something alive rather than in the expectation that anything will triumph.
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
All significant truths are private truths. As they become public they cease to become truths they become facts, or at best, part of the public character or at worst, catchwords.
T. S. Eliot
The circle of our understanding is a very restricted area.
T. S. Eliot
The destination cannot be described / You will know very little until you get there / You will journey blind.
T. S. Eliot
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.
T. S. Eliot
Turning Wearily, as one would turn to nod goodbye to Rochefoucauld, If the street were time and he as the end of the street.
T. S. Eliot
