More quotes by T. S. Eliot
And they write innumerable books being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.
T. S. Eliot
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
No place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think whatever you want, be sure that is what you want whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
T. S. Eliot
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care
T. S. Eliot
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past Into different lives, or into any future You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus, While the narrowing rails slide together behind you.
T. S. Eliot
not fare well, but fare forward
T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
