More quotes by T. S. Eliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.
T. S. Eliot
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
People exercise an unconscious selection in being influenced.
T. S. Eliot
The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river in the end it is no longer the river.

At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.
T. S. Eliot
Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone.
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
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot
The historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of literature from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order.
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
That was my way of putting it-not very satisfactory: A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion, Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle With words and meanings.
T. S. Eliot
