Those who talk of the bible as a monument of English prose are merely admiring it as a monument over the grave of Christianity.
T. S. EliotTo arrive where you are, to get from where you are not / You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy.
T. S. EliotThose who say they give the public what it wants begin by underestimating public taste and end by debauching it.
T. S. EliotIf the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent If the unheard, unspoken Word is unspoken, unheard; Still is the spoken word, the Word unheard, The Word without a word, the Word within The world and for the world; And the light shone in the darkness and Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled About the center of the silent Word. Oh my people, what have I done unto thee. Where shall the word be found, where shall the word Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence
T. S. Eliot
