More quotes by T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates.
T. S. Eliot
Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other Who think the same thoughts without need of speech
T. S. Eliot
and now you live dispersed on ribbon roads, And no man knows or cares who is his neighbor Unless his neighbor makes too much disturbance, But all dash to and fro in motor cars, Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.
T. S. Eliot
Immature poets imitate mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
He is haunted by a demon, a demon against which he feels powerless, because in its first manifestation it has no face, no name, nothing and the words, the poem he makes, are a kind of exorcism of this demon.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
We learn what poetry is - if we ever learn - by reading 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
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
T. S. Eliot
We do not pass twice through the same door Or return to the door through which we did not pass.
T. S. Eliot
I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.
T. S. Eliot
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
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
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
T. S. Eliot
Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.
T. S. Eliot
