Quote by T. S. Eliot

Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself.


Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolut

Summary

This quote signifies that every experience holds two contradictory elements. It is regarded as absolute because it exists and has a certain significance. However, it is also considered relative as it transcends its own limitations and extends into something more but never fully escapes its defining characteristics. This paradox highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of experiences, which can be both definitive and transformative at the same time.
