More quotes by T. S. Eliot
For I have known them all already, known them all— Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor - And this, and so much more? -
T. S. Eliot
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
T. S. Eliot
The Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
T. S. Eliot
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.
T. S. Eliot
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
T. S. Eliot
I do not believe that any writer has ever exposed this bovarysme, the human will to see things as they are not, more clearly than Shakespeare.
T. S. Eliot
We can say of Shakespeare, that never has a man turned so little knowledge to such great account.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
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
The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.
T. S. Eliot
Only through time time is conquered
T. S. Eliot
