T. S. Eliot
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
T. S. Eliot
I believe the moment of birth Is when we have knowledge of death I believe the season of birth Is the season of sacrifice.
T. S. Eliot
