A Quote by T. S. Eliot

Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment. — © T. S. Eliot
Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment.
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicatied Of dead and living, Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment . . .
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
Every moment was a before and an after. Every moment was a now to be lived.
I am not sorry for a moment . It was worth every moment, every second we were together. I would not change it for an immortal lifetime
And now the moment. Such a moment has a peculiar character. It is brief and temporal indeed, like every moment; it is transient as all moments are; it is past, like every moment in the next moment. And yet it is decisive, and filled with the eternal. Such a moment ought to have a distinctive name; let us call it the Fullness of Time.
A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.
Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru.
If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.
Every moment is beautiful; delicious even! Every moment I'm learning and living in a way I never have before. Being present in a way I never have before. Existing in moments I never have before.
Time, which is so often an enemy in life, can also become our ally if we see how a pale moment can lead to a glowing moment, and then turn to a moment of perfect transparency, before dropping again to a moment of everyday simplicity.
I'll hear a song I love and suddenly I'm isolated from everything around me just for a nanosecond. That's a moment between a moment.
Any moment, big or small, Is a moment, after all. Seize the moment, skies may fall Any moment.
I'd like to live every moment of my life, but not a moment after.
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Every moment is a moment of decision, and every moment turns us inexorably in the direction of the rest of our lives.
But I knew the truth and that's why I was so sad. Every moment before this one depends on this one. Everything in the history of the world can be proven wrong in one moment.
