T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.
T. S. Eliot
time past and time future what might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.
T. S. Eliot
The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.
T. S. Eliot
In my beginning is my end.
T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
T. S. Eliot
Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important.
T. S. Eliot
