Poems by T. S. Eliot Quotes

“Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.”
― T.S. Eliot, Poems

“Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessed face
And renounce the voice
Because I cannot hope to turn again
Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice”
― T. S. Eliot, Poems
