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
Gin and drugs, dear lady, gin and drugs.
T. S. Eliot
The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep at night he hunts God works in a mysterious way- The Church can sleep and feed at once.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care
T. S. Eliot
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
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
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
