To men of a certain type The suspicion that they are incapable of loving Is as disturbing to their self-esteem As, in cruder men, the fear of impotence.
T. S. Eliot
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
Art is the escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot
Survival is your strength not your shame.
