T. S. Eliot
life is long between the desire and the spasm.
T. S. Eliot
You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.
T. S. Eliot
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
T. S. Eliot
If time and space, as sages say, Are things which cannot be, The sun which does not feel decay No greater is than we. So why, Love, should we ever pray To live a century? The butterfly that lives a day Has lived eternity.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place.
T. S. Eliot
And indeed there will be time to wonder, 'Do I dare?', and 'Do I dare?
T. S. Eliot
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you Which shall be the darkness of God. . . . So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
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
