When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
T. S. Eliot
Cats must have three names-an everyday name, such as Peter a more particular, dignified name, such as Quaxo, Bombalurina, or Jellylorum and, thirdly, the name the cat thinks up for himself, his deep and inscrutable singular Name.
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
T. S. Eliot
We learn what poetry is - if we ever learn - by reading it.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
