More quotes by T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot

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
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.
T. S. Eliot
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
With a poem you can say 'I got my feeling into words for myself. I now have the equivalent in words for that much of what I have felt.'

All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.
T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink, The bloody flesh our only food: In spite of which we like to think That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
T. S. Eliot
