Mankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot
(Source: nicsville)
Half the harm that is done in this word
Is due to people who want to feel important.
They don’t mean to do harm — but the harm does not interest them.
Or they do not see it, or they justify it
Because they are absorbed in the endless struggle
To think well of themselves.
from ‘The Cocktail Party’ by T.S. Eliot

It’s strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.
T.S. Eliot
