o svém příteli spisovateli

„Nezralí básníci napodobují, zralí básníci kradou.“

Thomas Stearns Eliot

Originál: (en) Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.

„Organizace je právě tak nutná jako inspirace.“

Thomas Stearns Eliot

„Nezralí básníci napodobují, zkušení kradou. Ti špatní znetvoří, co si vezmou, zatímco dobří z toho udělají něco lepšího, nebo alespoň jiného. Skutečný básník zvládne svou kořist naroubovat do jedinečné koruny pocitů, zcela odlišné od té, ze které si svůj roub uštípl.“

Thomas Stearns Eliot

„Dokud hudba trvá, jste hudbou vy.“

„Ukážu ti strach v hrsti prachu.“

Thomas Stearns Eliot

„Svět se točí a svět se mění, ale jedna věc se nemění. Jedna věc se za všechna ta léta nezměnila. Ať už to maskujete jakkoli, tato věc se nemění: věčný boj Dobra a Zla.“

Thomas Stearns Eliot: Citáty anglicky

“I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.

Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.”

Turn in the door once and turn once only
We think of the key, each in his prison
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison.”

And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessèd face”

“If we all were judged according to the consequences
Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention
And beyond our limited understanding
Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.”

Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.”

It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.”

“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"?”

Choruses from The Rock (1934)

“Fortunate the man who, at the right moment meets the right friend; fortunate also the man who at the right moment meets the right enemy. I do not approve the extermination of the enemy; the policy of exterminating or, as it is barbarously said, liquidating enemies, is one of the most alarming developments of modern war and peace, from the point of view of those who desire the survival of culture. One needs the enemy… A country within which the divisions have goon too far is a danger to itself: a country which is too well united - whether by nature or by device, by hounest purpose or by fraud and oppression - is a menace to others.”

Notes towards the definition of culture(1948)

“The majority of mankind is lazy-minded, incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in emotion, and is therefore incapable of either much doubt or much faith; and when the ordinary man calls himself a sceptic or an unbeliever, that is ordinarily a simple pose, cloaking a disinclination to think anything out to a conclusion.”

Introduction to Pascal’s Pensées

“Because I do not hope to know
The infirm glory of the positive hour
Because I do not think
Because I know I shall not know
The one veritable transitory power
Because I cannot drink
There, where trees flower, and springs flow, for there is nothing again”
