We must learn to suffer more.
T. S. Eliot
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
T. S. Eliot
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past Into different lives, or into any future You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus, While the narrowing rails slide together behind you.
T. S. Eliot
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
The circle of our understanding is a very restricted area.
T. S. Eliot
It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are... ...We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
T. S. Eliot
In the end is my beginning.

T. S. Eliot
The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an objective correlative in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula for that particular emotion such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.
T. S. Eliot
If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.
T. S. Eliot
The Rum Turn Tugger is a terrible bore: When you let him in, then he wants to be out He's always on the wrong side of every door, And as soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about.
T. S. Eliot
Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other Who think the same thoughts without need of speech
T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot
Hungry Hatred, will not strive against intelligence self-interest.
T. S. Eliot
A wrong attitude toward nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude toward God.
T. S. Eliot
