More quotes by T. S. Eliot
The overwhelming pressure of mediocrity, sluggish and indomitable as a glacier, will mitigate the most violent, and depress the most exalted revolution.
T. S. Eliot
But what have I, but what have I, my friend, To give you, what can you receive from me? Only the friendship and the sympathy Of one about to reach her journey's end.
T. S. Eliot
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
T. S. Eliot
There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
T. S. Eliot
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
T. S. Eliot
The nightingales are singing near The Convent of the Sacred Heart, And sang within the bloody wood When Agamemnon cried aloud, And let their liquid siftings fall To stain the stiff dishonored shroud.
T. S. Eliot
We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
T. S. Eliot
To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
T. S. Eliot
I shall not want Honor in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney.
T. S. Eliot
We can say of Shakespeare, that never has a man turned so little knowledge to such great account.
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
But the Church cannot be, in any political sense, either conservative or liberal, or revolutionary. Conservatism is too often conservation of the wrong things: liberalism a relaxation of discipline revolution a denial of the permanent things.
T. S. Eliot
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.
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
Only through time time is conquered
T. S. Eliot
Webster was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin.
T. S. Eliot
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
T. S. Eliot
