Additional quotes by T.S. Eliot
Unreal friendship may turn to real
But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended
When the Stranger says: “What is the meaning of this city ?
Do you huddle close together because you love each other?”
What will you answer? “We all dwell together
To make money from each other”? or “This is a community”?
Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger.
Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
