Eliot on Life and Humility
“…our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.”
T.S. Eliot, as quoted by Anders Österling, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy during the presentation speech for the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1948.
"The only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of humility."
T.S. Eliot, as quoted by Gustaf Hellström of the Swedish Academy prior to Eliot’s banquet speech for the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1948.
