More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past / are both perhaps present in time future.
T. S. Eliot
And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor - And this, and so much more? -
T. S. Eliot
Culture is the one thing that we cannot deliberately aim at. It is the product of a variety of more or less harmonious activities, each pursued for its own sake.
T. S. Eliot
It is not enough to understand what we ought to be, unless we know what we are and we do not understand what we are, unless we know what we ought to be.
T. S. Eliot
We ask only to be reassured About the noises in the cellar And the window that should not have been open
T. S. Eliot
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
T. S. Eliot
Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time.
T. S. Eliot
When the whole world is running headlong towards the precipice, one who walks in the opposite direction is looked at as being crazy.
T. S. Eliot
At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted.
T. S. Eliot
The definition of hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing.
T. S. Eliot
There is no escape from metre there is only mastery.
T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away.
T. S. Eliot
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
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
Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God and this has never happened before.
T. S. Eliot
The Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end.
T. S. Eliot
From a purely external point of view there is no will and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy we observe aman's actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
When the gods know that a god hath fallen, With this kindly feeling They do encourage him-- Be thou a god again and again.
T. S. Eliot
Success is relative. It is what we make of the mess we have made of things.
T. S. Eliot
