More quotes by T. S. Eliot
That was my way of putting it-not very satisfactory: A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion, Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle With words and meanings.
T. S. Eliot
You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
T. S. Eliot
The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
And right action is freedom From past and future also.
T. S. Eliot
All time is eternal, moving inexorably toward an end which we believe is a result of our actions, but over which our control is mere illusion.
T. S. Eliot
Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
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 Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end.
T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
T. S. Eliot
Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall My buried life, and Paris in the spring, I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world To be wonderful and youthful afterall
T. S. Eliot
