T. S. Eliot
But what have I, but what have I, my friend, To give you, what can you receive from me? Only the friendship and the sympathy Of one about to reach her journey's end.
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
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
