More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Probably, indeed, the larger part of the labor of an author composing his work is critical labor the labor of sifting, combining, constructing, expunging, correcting, testing. This frightful toil is as much critical as creative.
T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
We must learn to suffer more.
T. S. Eliot
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it
T. S. Eliot
I must tell you that I should really like to think there's something wrong with me- Because, if there isn't, then there's something wrong with the world itself-and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible. So I'd rather believe there is something wrong with me, that could be put right.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
T. S. Eliot
I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.
T. S. Eliot
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith The army of unalterable law.
T. S. Eliot
Turning Wearily, as one would turn to nod goodbye to Rochefoucauld, If the street were time and he as the end of the street.
T. S. Eliot
The Nobel is a ticket to one's own funeral. No one has ever done anything after he got it.
T. S. Eliot
When the whole world is running headlong towards the precipice, one who walks in the opposite direction is looked at as being crazy.
T. S. Eliot
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless. The houses are all gone under the sea. The dancers are all gone under the hill.
T. S. Eliot
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
T. S. Eliot
Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time.
T. S. Eliot
If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.
T. S. Eliot
Those who say they give the public what it wants begin by underestimating public taste and end by debauching it.
T. S. Eliot
