The Rum Turn Tugger is a terrible bore: When you let him in, then he wants to be out He's always on the wrong side of every door, And as soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about.

T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away
T. S. Eliot
Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
T. S. Eliot
The definition of hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing.
T. S. Eliot
We do not pass twice through the same door Or return to the door through which we did not pass.
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
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.
T. S. Eliot
