More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
T. S. Eliot
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
T. S. Eliot
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
T. S. Eliot
Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
He is haunted by a demon, a demon against which he feels powerless, because in its first manifestation it has no face, no name, nothing and the words, the poem he makes, are a kind of exorcism of this demon.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
For you know only a heap of broken images
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
T. S. Eliot
Quick now, here, now, always- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flame are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one.
T. S. Eliot
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
In life there is not time to grieve long.
T. S. Eliot
When the whole world is running headlong towards the precipice, one who walks in the opposite direction is looked at as being crazy.
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
I am moved by fancies that are curled, around these images and cling, the notion of some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing.
T. S. Eliot
