More quotes by T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river in the end it is no longer the river.

At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think whatever you want, be sure that is what you want whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.
T. S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be: am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two, advise the prince.

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
The work of creation is never without travail.
T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
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
O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark, The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant
T. S. Eliot
Writing every day is a way of keeping the engine running, and then something good may come out of it.
T. S. Eliot
If one has to earn a living, therefore, the safest occupation is that most remote from the arts.
T. S. Eliot
If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.
T. S. Eliot
Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God and this has never happened before.
T. S. Eliot
