More quotes by T. S. Eliot
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
Yeats was the greatest poet of our times . . . certainly the greatest in this language, and so far as I am able to judge, in any language.
T. S. Eliot
In the last few years everything I'd done up to sixty or so has seemed very childish.
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
T. S. Eliot
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair-
T. S. Eliot
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.
T. S. Eliot
With cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we lost in living?
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
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
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
T. S. Eliot
and now you live dispersed on ribbon roads, And no man knows or cares who is his neighbor Unless his neighbor makes too much disturbance, But all dash to and fro in motor cars, Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
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
Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?
T. S. Eliot
Philosophy: a purple bullfinch in a lilac tree.
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
T. S. Eliot
