More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Yeats was the greatest poet of our times . . . certainly the greatest in this language, and so far as I am able to judge, in any language.
T. S. Eliot
If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
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
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
T. S. Eliot
And right action is freedom From past and future also.
T. S. Eliot
When the Stranger says: What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other? What will you answer? We all dwell together To make money from each other? or This is a community? Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger. Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
T. S. Eliot
No place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
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
Cats must have three names-an everyday name, such as Peter a more particular, dignified name, such as Quaxo, Bombalurina, or Jellylorum and, thirdly, the name the cat thinks up for himself, his deep and inscrutable singular Name.
T. S. Eliot
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past Into different lives, or into any future You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus, While the narrowing rails slide together behind you.
T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away
T. S. Eliot
That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
T. S. Eliot
Good poets borrow, great poets steal
T. S. Eliot
