T. S. Eliot Patterns Quotations

History may be servitude. History may be freedom. See, now they vanish. The faces and places, with the self which, as it could, loved them, to become renewed, transfigured, in another pattern.

As we grow older, the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living.

A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
