More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The destination cannot be described / You will know very little until you get there / You will journey blind.
T. S. Eliot
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid.
T. S. Eliot
No one can become really educated without having pursued some study in which he took no interest- for it is a part of education to learn to interest ourselves in subjects for which we have no aptitude.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think whatever you want, be sure that is what you want whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.
T. S. Eliot
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past Into different lives, or into any future You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus, While the narrowing rails slide together behind you.
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
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
You must not on any account give me credit for being penetrating. I have impressed people that way before, and the result is always disaster.
T. S. Eliot
The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.
T. S. Eliot
To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
I must tell you that I should really like to think there's something wrong with me- Because, if there isn't, then there's something wrong with the world itself-and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible. So I'd rather believe there is something wrong with me, that could be put right.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
T. S. Eliot
Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone.
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
For I have known them all already, known them all— Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
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
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploring, And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
T. S. Eliot
