T.S. Eliot

"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."

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

"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."

"There will be time, there will be timeTo prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet."

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

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

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

"Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity"

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

"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."

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

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

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these."

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

"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."

"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."

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

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

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