T. S. Eliot
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
T. S. Eliot
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
T. S. Eliot
My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me. 'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak. 'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What? 'I never know what you are thinking. Think.
T. S. Eliot
For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
T. S. Eliot
Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
