With the author

Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.

T. S. Eliot

Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.

T. S. Eliot

I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.

T. S. Eliot

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.

T. S. Eliot

It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.

T. S. Eliot

The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.

T. S. Eliot

You are the music while the music lasts.

T. S. Eliot

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree.

T. S. Eliot

It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.

It takes time to make money in stocks. Nothing worthwhile ever happens overnight.

There is nothing new on Wall Street. There can’t be, because speculation is as old as the hills.

It isn't as important to buy as cheap as possible as it is to buy at the right time.

The stock market is never obvious. It is designed to fool most of the people, most of the time.
