T.S. Eliot

"Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers."

"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."

"We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form."

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

"There is one who remembers the way to your door: Life you may evade, but Death you shall not."

"The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man"

"Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."

"Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?Where is the knowledge we have lost in infomation?"

"If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you."

"So I find words I never thought to speakIn streets I never thought I should revisitWhen I left my body on a distant shore."

"Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough."

"Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."

"There is one who remembers the way to your door: Life you may evade, but Death you shall not."

"Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel."

"Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves."

"I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."

"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink."

"This is the way the world endsNot with a bang but a whimper."

"LightLightThe visible reminder of Invisible Light."

"Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea."
