More quotes by T. S. Eliot
To each individual the world will take on a different connotation of meaning-the important lies in the desire to search for an answer.
T. S. Eliot
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
T. S. Eliot
A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.
T. S. Eliot
Culture is the one thing that we cannot deliberately aim at. It is the product of a variety of more or less harmonious activities, each pursued for its own sake.
T. S. Eliot
But the Church cannot be, in any political sense, either conservative or liberal, or revolutionary. Conservatism is too often conservation of the wrong things: liberalism a relaxation of discipline revolution a denial of the permanent things.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
T. S. Eliot
For every life and every act consequence of good and evil can be shown and as in time results of many deeds are blended so good and evil in the end become confounded.
T. S. Eliot
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
T. S. Eliot
Human kind cannot bear much reality.
T. S. Eliot
The single Rose Is now the Garden Where all loves end
T. S. Eliot
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
T. S. Eliot
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep at night he hunts God works in a mysterious way- The Church can sleep and feed at once.
T. S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be: am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two, advise the prince.
T. S. Eliot
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
T. S. Eliot
It's harder to confess the sin that no one believes in Than the crime that everyone can appreciate. For the crime is in relation to the law And the sin is in relation to the sinner.
T. S. Eliot
Where there is no temple there shall be no homes.
T. S. Eliot
