A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about time
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about time
Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about time
Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about time
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.Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about time
