T. S. Eliot
The old should be explorers, be curious, risk transgression, explore oldness itself.
T. S. Eliot
That was my way of putting it-not very satisfactory: A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion, Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle With words and meanings.
T. S. Eliot
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
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
If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it.'
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
My greatest trouble is getting the curtain up and down.
T. S. Eliot
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
T. S. Eliot
Not less of love, but expanding Of love beyond desire, and so liberation From the Future as well as the past.
T. S. Eliot
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
Probably, indeed, the larger part of the labor of an author composing his work is critical labor the labor of sifting, combining, constructing, expunging, correcting, testing. This frightful toil is as much critical as creative.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
