T. S. Eliot

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

Between the ideaAnd the realityBetween the motionAnd the actFalls the Shadow

We shall not cease from our explorationAnd at the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm but the harm does not interest them.

I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.

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 emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.

We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started-- and know the place for the first time.

We shall not cease from our exploration, and at the end of all our exploring, we shall arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.

We shall never cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time.

Human kind cannot bear much reality.

Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things.

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

The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.

Humor is also a way of saying something serious.

It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to be good.

In a minute there is time for decision and revisions that a minute will reverse.

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.

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

Between the desireAnd the spasmBetween the potencyAnd the existenceBetween the essenceAnd the descentFalls the Shadow

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

It is impossible to say just what I mean!

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

You can evade life, but you can not evade Death.

Humankind cannot stand very much reality.

We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
