T. S. Eliot Quotes, Art Quotes, Oxygen Quotes

The mind of the poet is the shred of platinum.

Everybody says they're opposed to torture. But everyone would do it personally if they knew it could save the life of a kidnapped child who had only two hours of oxygen left before death. And it would be the right thing to do.
