The fool,fixed in his folly,may think He can turn the wheel on which he turns.

You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.

Here between the hither and the farther shore While time is withdrawn, consider the future And the past with an equal mind.

life is long between the desire and the spasm.
T. S. Eliot
I am moved by fancies that are curled, around these images and cling, the notion of some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing.
T. S. Eliot
Everyone's alone - or so it seems to me. They make noises, and think they are talking to each other They make faces, and think they understand each other. And I'm sure they don't. Is that a delusion?
T. S. Eliot
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid.
T. S. Eliot
I think it was rather an advantage not having any living poets in England or America in whom one took any particular interest. I don't know what it would be like but I think it would be a rather troublesome distraction to have such a lot of dominating presences, as you call them, about. Fortunately we weren't bothered by each other.
T. S. Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you Which shall be the darkness of God. . . . So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat. My Cat is a Lilliecat Hubvously. What a lilliecat it is. There never was such a Lilliecat. Its Name is JELLYORUM and its one Idea is to be Usefull!!
T. S. Eliot
