More quotes by T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
If you find examples of humanism which are anti-religious, or at least in opposition to the religious faith of the place and time, then such humanism is purely destructive, for it has never found anything to replace what it has destroyed.
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
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
T. S. Eliot
O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark, The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of a Christian education would not be merely to make men and women pious Christians: a system which aimed too rigidly at this end alone would become only obscurantist. A Christian education must primarily teach people to be able to think in Christian categories.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
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
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
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
If time and space, as sages say, Are things which cannot be, The sun which does not feel decay No greater is than we. So why, Love, should we ever pray To live a century? The butterfly that lives a day Has lived eternity.
T. S. Eliot
Sensibility alters from generation to generation in everybody, whether we will or no but expression is only altered by a man of genius.
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
