More quotes by T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Good poets borrow, great poets steal
T. S. Eliot
life is long between the desire and the spasm.
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 single Rose Is now the Garden Where all loves end
T. S. Eliot
You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go.
T. S. Eliot
You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.
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
Because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place.
T. S. Eliot
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
T. S. Eliot
No one can become really educated without having pursued some study in which he took no interest- for it is a part of education to learn to interest ourselves in subjects for which we have no aptitude.
T. S. Eliot
