More quotes by T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
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
For I have known them all already, known them all— Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
But what have I, but what have I, my friend, To give you, what can you receive from me? Only the friendship and the sympathy Of one about to reach her journey's end.

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
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
The fool,fixed in his folly,may think He can turn the wheel on which he turns.
T. S. Eliot
It seems just possible that a poem might happen to a very young man: but a poem is not poetry -That is a life.
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
Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?
T. S. Eliot
To become what you are not, behave as you do not.
T. S. Eliot
Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.
T. S. Eliot
Writing every day is a way of keeping the engine running, and then something good may come out of it.
T. S. Eliot
Ash on an old man's sleeve / Is all the ash the burnt roses leave, / Dust in the air suspended / Marks the place where a story ended.
T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
T. S. Eliot
