More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Think neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices are fathered by our heroism. Virtues are forced upon us by our impudent crimes. These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think whatever you want, be sure that is what you want whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.
T. S. Eliot
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
T. S. Eliot
And they write innumerable books being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
Liberty is a different kind of pain from prison.
T. S. Eliot
That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.
T. S. Eliot
Here between the hither and the farther shore While time is withdrawn, consider the future And the past with an equal mind.
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
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
Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow
T. S. Eliot
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
T. S. Eliot
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.
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
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt with somehow, but our permanent difficulties are difficulties of every moment.
T. S. Eliot
