So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other Who think the same thoughts without need of speech
T. S. Eliot
The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river in the end it is no longer the river. What we call the headwaters is only a selection from among the innumerable sources which flow together to compose it. At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?
T. S. Eliot
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
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
Writing every day is a way of keeping the engine running, and then something good may come out of it.
T. S. Eliot
Maturing as a poet means maturing as the whole man, experiencing new emotions appropriate to one's age, and with the same intensity as the emotions of youth.
T. S. Eliot
We can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we apeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
I hate university towns and university people, who are the same everywhere, with pregnant wives, sprawling children, many books and hideous pictures on the walls ... Oxford is very pretty, but I don't like to be dead.
T. S. Eliot
We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.
T. S. Eliot
Where there is no temple there shall be no homes.
T. S. Eliot
Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.
T. S. Eliot
It seems just possible that a poem might happen to a very young man: but a poem is not poetry -That is a life.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
T. S. Eliot
