When we read of human beings behaving in certain ways, with the approval of the author, who gives his benediction to this behavior by his attitude towards the result of the behavior arranged by himself, we can be influenced towards behaving in the same way.

For you know only a heap of broken images

Think neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices are fathered by our heroism. Virtues are forced upon us by our impudent crimes. These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.

The past and future / Are conquered, and reconciled.

Here were decent godless people;
Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls.

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.

The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.

Good poets borrow, great poets steal

Thomas Eliot 700 quotes

The good poet welds his theft ...

The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn.

A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, I had not thought death had undone so many.

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

Because I do not hope to turn ...

Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?

The winter evening settles dow...

The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps.

Thomas Eliot 700 quotes

The only wisdom we can hope to...

The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless. The houses are all gone under the sea. The dancers are all gone under the hill.

Tradition: how the vitality of the past enriches the life of the present.

life is long between the desire and the spasm.

Thomas Eliot 700 quotes

And I will show you something ...

And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you I will show you fear in a handful of dust

Thomas Eliot 700 quotes

You do not know how much they ...

You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, And how, how rare and strange it is, to find In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends, (For indeed I do not love it ... you knew? you are not blind! How keen you are!) To find a friend who has these qualities, Who has, and gives Those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you- Without these friendships-life, what cauchemar!
