If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.
T. S. Eliot
The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an objective correlative in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula for that particular emotion such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.
T. S. Eliot
A wrong attitude toward nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude toward God.

T. S. Eliot
Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.
T. S. Eliot
Everyone's alone - or so it seems to me. They make noises, and think they are talking to each other They make faces, and think they understand each other. And I'm sure they don't. Is that a delusion?
T. S. Eliot
Shape without form, shade without color, Paralyzed force, gesture without motion Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom Remember us-if at all-not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men.
T. S. Eliot
It is not enough to understand what we ought to be, unless we know what we are and we do not understand what we are, unless we know what we ought to be.
T. S. Eliot
