More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The purpose of a Christian education would not be merely to make men and women pious Christians: a system which aimed too rigidly at this end alone would become only obscurantist. A Christian education must primarily teach people to be able to think in Christian categories.
T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended

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
Words move, music moves Only in time but that which is only living Can only die. Words, after speech, reach Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern, Can words or music reach The stillness.
T. S. Eliot

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
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
