T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Accident is design / And design is accident / In a cloud of unknowing.
T. S. Eliot
He is haunted by a demon, a demon against which he feels powerless, because in its first manifestation it has no face, no name, nothing and the words, the poem he makes, are a kind of exorcism of this demon.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
To men of a certain type The suspicion that they are incapable of loving Is as disturbing to their self-esteem As, in cruder men, the fear of impotence.
T. S. Eliot
We can say of Shakespeare, that never has a man turned so little knowledge to such great account.
T. S. Eliot
Gin and drugs, dear lady, gin and drugs.
