More quotes by T.S. Eliot

"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."
"This is the way the world endsNot with a bang but a whimper."
"Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity"
"We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form."
"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."
