T. S. Eliot
“Teach us to care and not to care / Teach us to sit still.”
“I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker.”
“Where is the Life we have lost in living?”
“Humankind cannot bear very much reality.”
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
“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.”
“For last year's words belong to last year's language / And next year's words await another voice.”
“Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.”
“Between the idea / And the reality / Between the motion / And the act / Falls the Shadow.”
“This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper.”
“Do I dare disturb the universe?”
“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
