More quotes by T. S. Eliot
For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
T. S. Eliot
All dash to and fro in motor cars. Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
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
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
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
No generation is interested in art in quite the same way as any other each generation, like each individual, brings to the contemplation of art its own categories of appreciation, makes its own demands upon art, and has its own uses for art.
T. S. Eliot
time past and time future what might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.
T. S. Eliot
When the Stranger says: What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other? What will you answer? We all dwell together To make money from each other? or This is a community? Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger. Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
T. S. Eliot
And they write innumerable books being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.
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
Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done
T. S. Eliot
The bad poet is usually unconscious where he ought to be conscious, and conscious where he ought to be unconscious.
T. S. Eliot
Writing every day is a way of keeping the engine running, and then something good may come out of it.
T. S. Eliot
Sensibility alters from generation to generation in everybody, whether we will or no but expression is only altered by a man of genius.
T. S. Eliot
An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.
T. S. Eliot
Survival is your strength not your shame.
T. S. Eliot
Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone.
T. S. Eliot
At the still point, there the dance is.
T. S. Eliot
For you know only a heap of broken images
T. S. Eliot
