More quotes by T. S. Eliot
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep at night he hunts God works in a mysterious way- The Church can sleep and feed at once.
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
A wrong attitude toward nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude toward God.
T. S. Eliot
Not less of love, but expanding Of love beyond desire, and so liberation From the Future as well as the past.
T. S. Eliot
Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws? She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.
T. S. Eliot
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
T. S. Eliot
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
T. S. Eliot
It is a test (a positive test, I do not assert that it is always valid negatively), that genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
