More quotes by T. S. Eliot
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.
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
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless. The houses are all gone under the sea. The dancers are all gone under the hill.
T. S. Eliot
Turning Wearily, as one would turn to nod goodbye to Rochefoucauld, If the street were time and he as the end of the street.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
We learn what poetry is - if we ever learn - by reading it.
T. S. Eliot
and now you live dispersed on ribbon roads, And no man knows or cares who is his neighbor Unless his neighbor makes too much disturbance, But all dash to and fro in motor cars, Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we lost in living?
T. S. Eliot
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
T. S. Eliot
In order to possess what you do not possess, you must go by the way of dispossession.
T. S. Eliot
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
T. S. Eliot
Hungry Hatred, will not strive against intelligence self-interest.
T. S. Eliot
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives.
T. S. Eliot
And right action is freedom From past and future also.
T. S. Eliot
Yeats was the greatest poet of our times . . . certainly the greatest in this language, and so far as I am able to judge, in any language.
