More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Cats must have three names-an everyday name, such as Peter a more particular, dignified name, such as Quaxo, Bombalurina, or Jellylorum and, thirdly, the name the cat thinks up for himself, his deep and inscrutable singular Name.
T. S. Eliot
The difference between being an elder statesman And posing successfully as an elder statesman Is practically negligible.
T. S. Eliot
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care
T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is always time and place is always place and only place. And what is actual is actual only for one time. And only for one place. I rejoice that things are as they are.
T. S. Eliot
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
T. S. Eliot
The endless cycle of idea and action, / Endless invention, endless experiment, / Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness / Knowledge of speech, but not of silence / Knowledge of words, and ignorance of The Word.
T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
T. S. Eliot
Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
T. S. Eliot
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
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
Poetry is a mug's game.
T. S. Eliot
If you start with a bang, you won't end with a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
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
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives.
T. S. Eliot
