“In order to arrive at what you are not, you must go through the way in which you are not.”
― T.S. Eliot

“People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.”
― T.S. Eliot

“I can connect
Nothing with nothing”
― T.S. Eliot

“For I have known them all already, known them all -
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?

And I have known the eyes already, known them all -
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?”
