More From T. S. Eliot

Some people say, "sometimes i have violent thoughts, what can i do?" so i say, "well, have them!" cos we should not try to control ourselves. it's very bad to control ourselves in this sense. if you have any emotion at all, if its a bad emotion or good emotion, think about it, you should just understand that you have those emotions. and it's good because we are people and we have all these emotions. and the result of that is you would become more and more peaceful. if you don't let those emotions be inside of you then you become extremely violent.
Thinking People Peaceful
A great emotion is too selfish ; it takes into itself all the blood of the spirit, and the congestion leaves the hands too cold to write. three sorts of emotion produce great poetry - strong but quick emotions, seized upon for art as soon as they have passed, but not before they have passed ; strong and deep emotions in their remembrance along time after ; and false emotions, that is to say, emotions felt in the intellect. not insincerity, but a translated sincerity, is the basis of all art.
Strong Art Selfish
There are only two emotions: love and fear. all positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. from love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. from fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. it's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. but it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. they're opposites. if we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. when we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Fear Hate Opposites
But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
Poetry Personality Individual Talent
Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. it therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all.

A swaraj government means a government established by the free joint will of hindus, mussalmans and others.

Kinship among nations is not determined in such measurements as proximity of size and age. rather we should turn to those inner things - call them what you will - i mean those intangibles that are the real treasures free men possess. to preserve his freedom of worship, his equality before law, his liberty to speak and act as he sees fit, subject only to provisions that he trespass not upon similar rights of others - a londoner will fight. so will a citizen of abilene. when we consider these things, then the valley of the thames draws closer to the farms of kansas and the plains of texas.

You're wrong means that i don't understand you, i'm not seeing what you're seeing- and i'm not seeing all of you there is to see. but there is nothing wrong with you. you are what you need to be, doing what you need to be doing, and although i may take steps to protect myself of others, i do not know all and therefore am literally inadequate to judge.
