More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The majority of mankind is lazyminded, incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in emotion, and is therefore incapable of either much doubt or much faith.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
They don't understand what it is to be awake, / To be living on several planes at once / Though one cannot speak with several voices at once.
T. S. Eliot
I think it was rather an advantage not having any living poets in England or America in whom one took any particular interest. I don't know what it would be like but I think it would be a rather troublesome distraction to have such a lot of dominating presences, as you call them, about. Fortunately we weren't bothered by each other.
T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
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
In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
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
I think we are in rats’ alley Where the dead men lost their bones.
T. S. Eliot
To become what you are not, behave as you do not.
T. S. Eliot
not fare well, but fare forward
T. S. Eliot
Philosophy: a purple bullfinch in a lilac tree.
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
T. S. Eliot
The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.
T. S. Eliot
The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river in the end it is no longer the river. What we call the headwaters is only a selection from among the innumerable sources which flow together to compose it. At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?
T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
O father, father Gone from us, lost to us, The church lies bereft, Alone, Desecrated, desolated. And the heathen shall build On the ruins Their world without God. I see it. I see it.
T. S. Eliot
