More quotes by T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away.
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
A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
T. S. Eliot
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
T. S. Eliot
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid.
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
In the end is my beginning.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
We do not pass twice through the same door Or return to the door through which we did not pass.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
T. S. Eliot
We can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we apeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational.
T. S. Eliot
The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
T. S. Eliot
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.
T. S. Eliot
Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.
T. S. Eliot
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
T. S. Eliot
