We are the hollow men. We are the stuffed men. Leaning together. Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when. We whisper together. Are quiet and meaningless. As wind in dry grass. Or rats' feet over broken glass. In our dry cellar. Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion;- The Hollow Men T. S. Eliot

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones -- In fact, he's remarkably fat. He doesn't haunt pubs—he has eight or nine clubs, For he's the St. James's Street Cat! He's the Cat we all greet as he walks down the street In his coat of fastidious black: No commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers Or such an impeccable back. In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is The name of this Brummell of Cats; And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats! T. S. Eliot
I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say. T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot quote: "I think we are in rat? alley Where the dead men lost their..."
I think we are in rat? alley Where the dead men lost their bones. T. S. Eliot

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quite the same. T. S. Eliot
The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat: If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse. If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat, If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house. If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat, If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse. Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat -And there isn't any call for me to shout it: For he will do. As he do do. And there's no doing anything about it! T. S. Eliot
