T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?

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
And right action is freedom From past and future also.
T. S. Eliot
From a purely external point of view there is no will and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy we observe aman's actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
But what have I, but what have I, my friend, To give you, what can you receive from me? Only the friendship and the sympathy Of one about to reach her journey's end.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
