No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
T. S. Eliot
Yeats was the greatest poet of our times . . . certainly the greatest in this language, and so far as I am able to judge, in any language.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot

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

T. S. Eliot
Not less of love, but expanding Of love beyond desire, and so liberation From the Future as well as the past.
T. S. Eliot
To men of a certain type The suspicion that they are incapable of loving Is as disturbing to their self-esteem As, in cruder men, the fear of impotence.
T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink, The bloody flesh our only food: In spite of which we like to think That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
If one has to earn a living, therefore, the safest occupation is that most remote from the arts.
T. S. Eliot
Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.
T. S. Eliot
Art is the escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot
If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
