Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God and this has never happened before.
T. S. Eliot
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
I believe the moment of birth Is when we have knowledge of death I believe the season of birth Is the season of sacrifice.
T. S. Eliot
Genuine blasphemy, genuine in spirit and not purely verbal, is the product of partial belief, and is as impossible to the complete atheist as to the perfect Christian.
T. S. Eliot
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair-
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
