More quotes by T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
Good poets borrow, great poets steal
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
Webster was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin.
T. S. Eliot
The difference between being an elder statesman And posing successfully as an elder statesman Is practically negligible.
T. S. Eliot
But the Church cannot be, in any political sense, either conservative or liberal, or revolutionary. Conservatism is too often conservation of the wrong things: liberalism a relaxation of discipline revolution a denial of the permanent things.
T. S. Eliot
It is a test (a positive test, I do not assert that it is always valid negatively), that genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
