Poetry Quote by T.S. Eliot — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.”

““Do I dare”

“You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends,”

“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?”

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.”

“The only wisdom we can hope to acquire”

“And when we tell ourselves we have reached the paroxysm of horror, blood and flouted laws of poetry that consecrates revolt, we obliged to advance still further into an endless vertigo.”

“I just need you and some sunsets.”

“I think it’s beautiful”

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.”

“To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop”

“You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you’re the house where people come and go as they please, because you’re simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn’t let in, and you let them walk around for a while, use your bed and use your books, and await the day when they simply get bored and leave. You’re still not bothered, though you knew they shouldn’t have been let in in the first place, but still you just sit there, apathetic like a beggar in the desert.”
