quotations for thE WEEK
“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.
Through the unknown, remembered gate when the last of earth left to discover is that which was the beginning … not known, because not looked for. But heard, half heard in the stillness between two waves of the sea; quick now, here, now, always. A condition of complete simplicity, costing not less than everything.”
—T.S. Elliott
