T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T. S. Eliot

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
We shall not cease from exploring, And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time.

T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
When the gods know that a god hath fallen, With this kindly feeling They do encourage him-- Be thou a god again and again.
T. S. Eliot
We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.
T. S. Eliot
Culture is the one thing that we cannot deliberately aim at. It is the product of a variety of more or less harmonious activities, each pursued for its own sake.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
