T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
The historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of literature from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order.
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
The chief danger about Paris is that it is such a strong stimulant.
