Human kind cannot bear much reality.
T. S. Eliot
Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.

T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
I think it was rather an advantage not having any living poets in England or America in whom one took any particular interest. I don't know what it would be like but I think it would be a rather troublesome distraction to have such a lot of dominating presences, as you call them, about. Fortunately we weren't bothered by each other.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it.'
T. S. Eliot
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other Who think the same thoughts without need of speech
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.
T. S. Eliot
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
T. S. Eliot
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot
The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river in the end it is no longer the river. What we call the headwaters is only a selection from among the innumerable sources which flow together to compose it. At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?
T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
T. S. Eliot
