Success is relative: it's what we can make of the mess we have made of things. -T. S. Eliot

Give, Sympathise, Control - T S Eliot, The Wasteland

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot, 'The Hollow Men'

If you find examples of humanism which are anti-religious, or at least in opposition to the religious faith of the place and time, then such humanism is purely destructive, for it has never found anything to replace what it has destroyed. -- T. S. Eliot, "Humanism of Irving Babbit," _Selected Essays_, 1917-1928

Humor is also a way of saying something serious. T. S. Eliot
