Quote by T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

• Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.

• The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.

• Only those who risk going too far can discover how far they can really go.

• When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.

• An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

• 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.
