If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
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
The only hope, or else despair Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre - To be redeemed from fire by fire.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
T. S. Eliot
I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me, I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.
T. S. Eliot
That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.
T. S. Eliot
A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)

Gin and drugs, dear lady, gin and drugs.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploring, And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire / Before you know what is left to be desired / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.
T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink, The bloody flesh our only food: In spite of which we like to think That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
T. S. Eliot
