More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?
T. S. Eliot
The majority of mankind is lazyminded, incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in emotion, and is therefore incapable of either much doubt or much faith.
T. S. Eliot
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
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
Cats must have three names-an everyday name, such as Peter a more particular, dignified name, such as Quaxo, Bombalurina, or Jellylorum and, thirdly, the name the cat thinks up for himself, his deep and inscrutable singular Name.
T. S. Eliot
Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.
T. S. Eliot
In order to possess what you do not possess, you must go by the way of dispossession.
T. S. Eliot
In my beginning is my end.
T. S. Eliot
Humankind can't stand too much reality.
T. S. Eliot
To make an end is to make a beginning.
T. S. Eliot
I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me, I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.
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
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T. S. Eliot
To country people Cows are mild, And flee from any stick they throw But I’m a timid town bred child, And all the cattle seem to know.
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 communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
T. S. Eliot
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt with somehow, but our permanent difficulties are difficulties of every moment.
T. S. Eliot
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
