Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
T. S. Eliot
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experience ?in the mind of the poet these experiences are always forming new wholes.
T. S. Eliot
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG
T. S. Eliot
Words move, music moves Only in time but that which is only living Can only die. Words, after speech, reach Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern, Can words or music reach The stillness.
T. S. Eliot
Here between the hither and the farther shore While time is withdrawn, consider the future And the past with an equal mind.
T. S. Eliot
Words strain, crack, and sometime break, under the burden.
T. S. Eliot
I believe the moment of birth Is when we have knowledge of death I believe the season of birth Is the season of sacrifice.
T. S. Eliot
Hungry Hatred, will not strive against intelligence self-interest.
T. S. Eliot
For every life and every act consequence of good and evil can be shown and as in time results of many deeds are blended so good and evil in the end become confounded.
T. S. Eliot
The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.
T. S. Eliot
The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.
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
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
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
T. S. Eliot
Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.
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
He is haunted by a demon, a demon against which he feels powerless, because in its first manifestation it has no face, no name, nothing and the words, the poem he makes, are a kind of exorcism of this demon.
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 want it you must obtain it by great labor.
T. S. Eliot
