T.S. Eliot quotes

I hadn't realized he made such great quotes ! A man after my own heart.
"An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry."

"Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them."

"Humankind cannot bear very much reality."

"I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates."

"There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him." (No Heather Mills jokes please!)

"We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion."
And possibly my favourite:
"People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events."
Still, do any of them really compete with this from John Winston Lennon ...

"There's no place you can be that isn't where you're meant to be"

?
