T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
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
Philosophy: a purple bullfinch in a lilac tree.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
T. S. Eliot
It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.
T. S. Eliot
