Eliot Quotes

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.
Alanis Morissette

Time, God, Different

Robert Stack

Sad, Someone, Once

Marcus Mumford
