More quotes by T. S. Eliot
We must learn to suffer more.
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
Think neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices are fathered by our heroism. Virtues are forced upon us by our impudent crimes. These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.
T. S. Eliot
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
But what have I, but what have I, my friend, To give you, what can you receive from me? Only the friendship and the sympathy Of one about to reach her journey's end.
T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?
T. S. Eliot
He is haunted by a demon, a demon against which he feels powerless, because in its first manifestation it has no face, no name, nothing and the words, the poem he makes, are a kind of exorcism of this demon.
T. S. Eliot
The Nobel is a ticket to one's own funeral. No one has ever done anything after he got it.
T. S. Eliot
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.
T. S. Eliot
The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.
T. S. Eliot
A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
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
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with a talent for squad-drill.
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to be good.
T. S. Eliot
With a poem you can say 'I got my feeling into words for myself. I now have the equivalent in words for that much of what I have felt.'
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is a mug's game.
T. S. Eliot
Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.
T. S. Eliot
