Quotes

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing. T. S. Eliot
The dove descending breaks the air. With flame of incandescent terror. Of which the tongues declare. The one discharge from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair. Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-To be redeemed from fire by fire. Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name. Behind the hands that wove. The intolerable shirt of flame. Which human power cannot remove. We only live, only suspire. Consumed by either fire or fire. T. S. Eliot
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. T. S. Eliot
This form, this face, this life living to live in a world of time beyond me; let me resign my life for this life, my speech for that unspoken, the awakened, lips parted, the hope, the new ships. T. S. Eliot

The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man T. S. Eliot
Because I know that time is time and place is always and only place and what is actual is actual only for one time and only for one place, I rejoice that things are as they are and I renounce the blessed faces and renounce the voice because I cannot hope to turn again. T. S. Eliot
Fading, fading: strength beyond hope and despair climbing the third stair. Lord, I am not worthy Lord, I am not worthy but speak the word only. T. S. Eliot
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. T. S. Eliot
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? T. S. Eliot
T. S. Eliot quote: "I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope, For hope..."
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope, For hope would be hope for the wrong thing. T. S. Eliot
At the first turning of the second stair. I turned and saw below. The same shape twisted on the banister. Under the vapour in the fetid air. Struggling with the devil of the stairs who wears. The deceitful face of hope and of despair T. S. Eliot
