Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice.” — T.S. Eliot
(This one was a little tough to get started, even figuring the D was the S. Figuring out T.S. Eliot was my big key! I hope that a saner and calmer voice give us some good words in 2023! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire.” — T.S. Eliot
(I think that old Thomas Stearns Eliot could’ve benefited from some Prozac, or Zoloft! LOL! I think that “The Waste Land” was required reading in high school, but I got by – more or less – by just listening to the class discussion. I know I didn’t actually read it. My sub-vocal reading “skills” made me shun certain books. Not sure why *cruelest* was misspelled, but I do see the quote with both spellings. Be well and do good, friends. Enjoy the lilacs!) — YUR

“In the case of many poets, the most important thing for them to do is to write as little as possible.” — T. S. Eliot
(Who better qualified to make such a statement? I’ve never had the patience for long poems. I prefer haikus . . . and limericks. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T.S. Eliot
(Most of us will never know how far we could have gone. Mediocrity . . . quiet desperation . . . settling. That’s more the norm. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Yes, I suppose some editors are failed writers – but so are most writers.” — T.S. Eliot
