The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
T. S. Eliot
Although I do not hope to turn again Although I do not hope Although I do not hope to turn
T. S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be: am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two, advise the prince.
T. S. Eliot
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
Quick now, here, now, always- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flame are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one.
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, but genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
T. S. Eliot
Any religion is forever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion.
T. S. Eliot
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
T. S. Eliot
Past art is subject to change.
T. S. Eliot
Words move, music moves Only in time but that which is only living Can only die. Words, after speech, reach Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern, Can words or music reach The stillness.
T. S. Eliot
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
The naming of cats is a difficult matter. It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter. When I tell you a cat must have three different names.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.
T. S. Eliot
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives.
T. S. Eliot
Justice itself tends to be corrupted by political passion.
T. S. Eliot
