More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
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
Because I know that time is always time and place is always place and only place. And what is actual is actual only for one time. And only for one place. I rejoice that things are as they are.
T. S. Eliot
No place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
T. S. Eliot
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
If you find examples of humanism which are anti-religious, or at least in opposition to the religious faith of the place and time, then such humanism is purely destructive, for it has never found anything to replace what it has destroyed.
T. S. Eliot
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
T. S. Eliot
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
T. S. Eliot
We can say of Shakespeare, that never has a man turned so little knowledge to such great account.
T. S. Eliot
Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt with somehow, but our permanent difficulties are difficulties of every moment.
T. S. Eliot
Accident is design / And design is accident / In a cloud of unknowing.
T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
With cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
T. S. Eliot
We ask only to be reassured About the noises in the cellar And the window that should not have been open
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot
Quick now, here, now, always- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flame are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one.
T. S. Eliot
The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely.
T. S. Eliot
Survival is your strength not your shame.
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
