More quotes by 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
That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.

T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away
T. S. Eliot
The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.
T. S. Eliot
Where there is no temple there shall be no homes.
T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
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
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning, every poem an epitaph.
T. S. Eliot
Success is relative. It is what we make of the mess we have made of things.
T. S. Eliot
