More quotes by 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
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair-
T. S. Eliot
If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.
T. S. Eliot
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
T. S. Eliot
Accident is design / And design is accident / In a cloud of unknowing.
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
Probably, indeed, the larger part of the labor of an author composing his work is critical labor the labor of sifting, combining, constructing, expunging, correcting, testing. This frightful toil is as much critical as creative.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of mankind is lazyminded, incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in emotion, and is therefore incapable of either much doubt or much faith.
T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough.
T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away
T. S. Eliot
O father, father Gone from us, lost to us, The church lies bereft, Alone, Desecrated, desolated. And the heathen shall build On the ruins Their world without God. I see it. I see it.
T. S. Eliot
An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.
T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
T. S. Eliot
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
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
If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
T. S. Eliot
