26 September: TS Eliot

TS (Thomas Stearns Eliot) was born 26 September 1888, so today, 10 TS Eliot quotes. (Bonus fact - his name is an anagram of "toilets")

  1. 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.
  2. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
  3. I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
  4. If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
  5. You are the music while the music lasts.
  6. 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.
  7. Home is where one starts from.
  8. I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
  9. It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
  10. We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
