Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
Not less of love, but expanding Of love beyond desire, and so liberation From the Future as well as the past.
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
The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.
T. S. Eliot
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
T. S. Eliot
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!

Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot
The Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end.
T. S. Eliot
Art is the escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
T. S. Eliot
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
T. S. Eliot
They don't understand what it is to be awake, / To be living on several planes at once / Though one cannot speak with several voices at once.
T. S. Eliot
It is worth while dying, to find out what life is.
T. S. Eliot
All time is eternal, moving inexorably toward an end which we believe is a result of our actions, but over which our control is mere illusion.
T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past / are both perhaps present in time future.
T. S. Eliot
Composing on the typewriter, I find that I am sloughing off all my long sentences which I used to dote upon. Short, staccato, like modern French prose. The typewriter makes for lucidity, but I am not sure that it encourages subtlety.
T. S. Eliot
And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor - And this, and so much more? -
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
To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
