More quotes by T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The single Rose Is now the Garden Where all loves end
T. S. Eliot
Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of a Christian education would not be merely to make men and women pious Christians: a system which aimed too rigidly at this end alone would become only obscurantist. A Christian education must primarily teach people to be able to think in Christian categories.
T. S. Eliot
I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.
T. S. Eliot
Maturing as a poet means maturing as the whole man, experiencing new emotions appropriate to one's age, and with the same intensity as the emotions of youth.
T. S. Eliot
It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to be good.
T. S. Eliot
To country people Cows are mild, And flee from any stick they throw But I’m a timid town bred child, And all the cattle seem to know.
T. S. Eliot
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past Into different lives, or into any future You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus, While the narrowing rails slide together behind you.
T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
But the Church cannot be, in any political sense, either conservative or liberal, or revolutionary. Conservatism is too often conservation of the wrong things: liberalism a relaxation of discipline revolution a denial of the permanent things.
T. S. Eliot
The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.
T. S. Eliot
I believe the moment of birth Is when we have knowledge of death I believe the season of birth Is the season of sacrifice.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care
T. S. Eliot
