Additional quotes by T. S. Eliot

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn.

Your burden is not to clear your conscience
But to learn how to bear the burdens on your conscience.

I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you Which shall be the darkness of God. - T. S. Eliot
