More quotes by T. S. Eliot
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T. S. Eliot
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
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
A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)

I am moved by fancies that are curled, around these images and cling, the notion of some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink, The bloody flesh our only food: In spite of which we like to think That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
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
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith The army of unalterable law.
T. S. Eliot
The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.
T. S. Eliot
If you want it you must obtain it by great labor.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
T. S. Eliot
We fight to keep something alive rather than in the expectation that anything will triumph.
T. S. Eliot
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
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
