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
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
Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important.
T. S. Eliot
O father, father Gone from us, lost to us, The church lies bereft, Alone, Desecrated, desolated. And the heathen shall build On the ruins Their world without God. I see it. I see it.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time.
T. S. Eliot
A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.
T. S. Eliot
