So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
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
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith The army of unalterable law.
T. S. Eliot
When the gods know that a god hath fallen, With this kindly feeling They do encourage him-- Be thou a god again and again.
T. S. Eliot
The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.
T. S. Eliot
Past art is subject to change.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
T. S. Eliot
If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.
T. S. Eliot
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
T. S. Eliot
If you start with a bang, you won't end with a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are... ...We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
We fight to keep something alive rather than in the expectation that anything will triumph.
T. S. Eliot
Every nation, every race, has not only its own creative, but its own critical turn of mind and is even more oblivious of the shortcomings and limitations of its critical habits than of those of its creative genius.
T. S. Eliot
If you find examples of humanism which are anti-religious, or at least in opposition to the religious faith of the place and time, then such humanism is purely destructive, for it has never found anything to replace what it has destroyed.
T. S. Eliot
