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
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
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
To country people Cows are mild, And flee from any stick they throw But I’m a timid town bred child, And all the cattle seem to know.
