More quotes by T. S. Eliot
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experience ?in the mind of the poet these experiences are always forming new wholes.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploring, And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
The destination cannot be described / You will know very little until you get there / You will journey blind.
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
The definition of hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing.
T. S. Eliot
Survival is your strength not your shame.
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
Time present and time past / are both perhaps present in time future.
T. S. Eliot
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
T. S. Eliot
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
T. S. Eliot
Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
T. S. Eliot
The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
T. S. Eliot
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
For you know only a heap of broken images
T. S. Eliot
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
T. S. Eliot
Composing on the typewriter, I find that I am sloughing off all my long sentences which I used to dote upon. Short, staccato, like modern French prose. The typewriter makes for lucidity, but I am not sure that it encourages subtlety.
T. S. Eliot
