T. S. Eliot
I hate university towns and university people, who are the same everywhere, with pregnant wives, sprawling children, many books and hideous pictures on the walls ... Oxford is very pretty, but I don't like to be dead.
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
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together...
T. S. Eliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is.
