Immature poets imitate mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.

There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it
T. S. Eliot
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
T. S. Eliot
Good poets borrow, great poets steal

I am moved by fancies that are curled, around these images and cling, the notion of some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing.
T. S. Eliot
Human kind cannot bear much reality.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
When the Stranger says: What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other? What will you answer? We all dwell together To make money from each other? or This is a community? Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger. Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
T. S. Eliot
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
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
You must not on any account give me credit for being penetrating. I have impressed people that way before, and the result is always disaster.
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
