In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Past art is subject to change.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The definition of hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
T. S. Eliot
For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
T. S. Eliot
It's harder to confess the sin that no one believes in Than the crime that everyone can appreciate. For the crime is in relation to the law And the sin is in relation to the sinner.
T. S. Eliot
Dear Mother, I am getting on nicely in my work at the bank, and like it ... I want to find out something about the science of money while I am at it it is an extraordinarily interesting subject.
T. S. Eliot
A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)
T. S. Eliot
