Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
Sensibility alters from generation to generation in everybody, whether we will or no but expression is only altered by a man of genius.
T. S. Eliot
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
T. S. Eliot
Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important.
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
All significant truths are private truths. As they become public they cease to become truths they become facts, or at best, part of the public character or at worst, catchwords.
T. S. Eliot
Composing on the typewriter, I find that I am sloughing off all my long sentences which I used to dote upon. Short, staccato, like modern French prose. The typewriter makes for lucidity, but I am not sure that it encourages subtlety.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.
T. S. Eliot
The fool,fixed in his folly,may think He can turn the wheel on which he turns.
T. S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be: am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two, advise the prince.
T. S. Eliot
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
T. S. Eliot
In the end is my beginning.
T. S. Eliot
The bad poet is usually unconscious where he ought to be conscious, and conscious where he ought to be unconscious.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it
T. S. Eliot
The endless cycle of idea and action, / Endless invention, endless experiment, / Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness / Knowledge of speech, but not of silence / Knowledge of words, and ignorance of The Word.
T. S. Eliot
Probably, indeed, the larger part of the labor of an author composing his work is critical labor the labor of sifting, combining, constructing, expunging, correcting, testing. This frightful toil is as much critical as creative.
T. S. Eliot
