More quotes by 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

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
T. S. Eliot
They don't understand what it is to be awake, / To be living on several planes at once / Though one cannot speak with several voices at once.
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
Any religion is forever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion.
T. S. Eliot
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates.
T. S. Eliot
Every end is a beginning...And every beginning is an end.
T. S. Eliot
Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.
T. S. Eliot
