More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
T. S. Eliot
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
T. S. Eliot
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
T. S. Eliot
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
Webster was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin.
T. S. Eliot
You must not on any account give me credit for being penetrating. I have impressed people that way before, and the result is always disaster.
T. S. Eliot
I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
No place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
T. S. Eliot
Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.
T. S. Eliot
All cases are unique and very similar to others.
T. S. Eliot
Nothing pleases people more than to go on thinking what they have always thought, and at the same time imagine that they are thinking something new and daring: it combines the advantage of security and the delight of adventure.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
And right action is freedom From past and future also.
T. S. Eliot
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
