This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
T.S. Eliot
My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.
'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
'I never know what you are thinking. Think.
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
For whatsoever from one place doth fall,
Is with the tide unto an other brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.
T.S. Eliot, The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism
We read many books, because we cannot know enough people.
T. S. Eliot
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
