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
Turning Wearily, as one would turn to nod goodbye to Rochefoucauld, If the street were time and he as the end of the street.
T. S. Eliot
The definition of hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing.
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

T. S. Eliot
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
T. S. Eliot
I do not believe that any writer has ever exposed this bovarysme, the human will to see things as they are not, more clearly than Shakespeare.
T. S. Eliot
Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.
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
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
T. S. Eliot
It seems just possible that a poem might happen to a very young man: but a poem is not poetry -That is a life.
T. S. Eliot
That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire / Before you know what is left to be desired / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.
T. S. Eliot
