Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
Genuine blasphemy, genuine in spirit and not purely verbal, is the product of partial belief, and is as impossible to the complete atheist as to the perfect Christian.
T. S. Eliot
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
