More quotes by T. S. Eliot
That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire / Before you know what is left to be desired / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
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
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
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
Because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place.
T. S. Eliot
If one has to earn a living, therefore, the safest occupation is that most remote from the arts.
T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
T. S. Eliot
The greatness of literature cannot be determined solely by literary standards though we must remember that whether it is literature or not can be determined only by literary standards.
T. S. Eliot
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.
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
Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough.
T. S. Eliot
