Additional quotes by T. S. Eliot

I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me.

Everyone’s alone — or so it seems to me.
They make noises, and think they are talking to each other;
They make faces, and think they understand each other,
And I’m sure they don’t. Is that delusion?
Can we only love
Something created in our own imaginations?

The soul of Man must quicken to creation.
