T. S. Eliot Quotes
Reilly: The Human Condition ... They May Remember The Vision They Have Had, But They Cease To Regret It, Maintain Themselves By The Common Routine, Learn To Avoid Excessive Expectation, Become Tolerant Of Themselves And Others, Giving And Taking, In The Usual Actions What There Is To Give And Take. They Do Not Repine; Are Contented With The Morning That Separates And With The Evening That Brings Together For Casual Talk Before The Fire. Two People Who Know They Do Not Understand Each Other, Breeding Children Whom They Do Not Understand And Who Will Never Understand Them.
Celia: Is That The Best Life?
Reilly: It Is A Good Life. Though You Will Not Know How Good Until You Come To The End. But You Will Want Nothing Else, And The Other Life Will Be Only Like A Book You Have Read Once, And Lost. In A World Of Lunacy, Violence, Stupidity, Greed ... It Is A Good Life.
