More quotes by T. S. Eliot
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
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
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T. S. Eliot
It is self-evident that St. Louis affected me more deeply than any other environment has ever done. I feel that there is something in having passed one's childhood beside the big river, which is incommunicable to those people who have not. I consider myself fortunate to have been born here, rather than in Boston, or New York, or London.
T. S. Eliot
O father, father Gone from us, lost to us, The church lies bereft, Alone, Desecrated, desolated. And the heathen shall build On the ruins Their world without God. I see it. I see it.
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
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
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
T. S. Eliot
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
Maturing as a poet means maturing as the whole man, experiencing new emotions appropriate to one's age, and with the same intensity as the emotions of youth.
T. S. Eliot
The single Rose Is now the Garden Where all loves end
T. S. Eliot
People exercise an unconscious selection in being influenced.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.
T. S. Eliot
Immature poets imitate mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time and place is always place and only place. And what is actual is actual only for one time. And only for one place. I rejoice that things are as they are.
T. S. Eliot
I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.
T. S. Eliot
Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?
T. S. Eliot
We fight to keep something alive rather than in the expectation that anything will triumph.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
