Hurry up, please, its time.
T. S. Eliot
If one has to earn a living, therefore, the safest occupation is that most remote from the arts.
T. S. Eliot
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
What a poem means is as much what it means to others as what it means to the author and indeed, in the course of time a poet may become merely reader in respect to his own works, forgetting his original meaning.
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
The endless cycle of idea and action, / Endless invention, endless experiment, / Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness / Knowledge of speech, but not of silence / Knowledge of words, and ignorance of The Word.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
It is a test (a positive test, I do not assert that it is always valid negatively), that genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
T. S. Eliot
To each individual the world will take on a different connotation of meaning-the important lies in the desire to search for an answer.
T. S. Eliot
My greatest trouble is getting the curtain up and down.
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
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
T. S. Eliot
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it
T. S. Eliot
Everyone's alone - or so it seems to me. They make noises, and think they are talking to each other They make faces, and think they understand each other. And I'm sure they don't. Is that a delusion?
T. S. Eliot
life is long between the desire and the spasm.
T. S. Eliot
