“If we all were judged according to the consequences
Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention
And beyond our limited understanding
Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.”
― T. S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

“Everyone’s alone—or so it seems to me.
They make noises, and think they are talking to each other;
They make faces, and think they understand each other,
And I’m sure they don’t. Is that delusion?
Can we only love
Something created in our own imaginations?”
― T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

“And then you came back, you
The angel of destruction-just as I felt sure.
In a moment, at your touch, there is nothing but ruin.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

“What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party
