Quotes by Thomas Stearns Eliot about Life

Thomas Stearns Eliot English poet, dramatist and literary critic

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 life

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.

Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about life

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Quote by Thomas Stearns Eliot about life

Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
