Some famous lines from T. S. Eliot that are often alluded to or quoted include:
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?<br>
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach<br>
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.<br>
I do not think that they will sing to me.<br>
::(from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock")
This is the way the world ends<br>
Not with a bang but a whimper."<br>
::(from "The Hollow Men")
