More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The work of creation is never without travail.
T. S. Eliot
We do not pass twice through the same door Or return to the door through which we did not pass.
T. S. Eliot
No place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
T. S. Eliot
No generation is interested in art in quite the same way as any other each generation, like each individual, brings to the contemplation of art its own categories of appreciation, makes its own demands upon art, and has its own uses for art.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we lost in living?
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go.
T. S. Eliot
For you know only a heap of broken images
T. S. Eliot
I do not approve the extermination of the enemy the policy of exterminating or, as it is barbarously said, liquidating enemies, is one of the most alarming developments of modern war and peace, from the point of view of those who desire the survival
T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
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
Every nation, every race, has not only its own creative, but its own critical turn of mind and is even more oblivious of the shortcomings and limitations of its critical habits than of those of its creative genius.
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
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith The army of unalterable law.
T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
