Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
To country people Cows are mild, And flee from any stick they throw But I’m a timid town bred child, And all the cattle seem to know.
T. S. Eliot
When forced to work within a strict framework, the imagination is taxed to its utmost and will produce its richest ideas. Given total freedom, the work is likely to sprawl.
T. S. Eliot
When a great poet has lived, certain things have been done once for all, and cannot be achieved again.
T. S. Eliot
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
T. S. Eliot
Where there is no temple there shall be no homes.
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
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
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.
T. S. Eliot
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it
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
A wrong attitude toward nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude toward God.
T. S. Eliot
Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws? She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.
T. S. Eliot
Although I do not hope to turn again Although I do not hope Although I do not hope to turn
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
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
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
Only through time time is conquered
T. S. Eliot
