Quote by TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter.

Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter

Summary

This quote implies that love reaches its purest form when it transcends the confines of time and space. It suggests that true love is not bound by the limitations of the present moment or the physical presence of individuals involved. Instead, love becomes most authentic and genuine when it surpasses these temporal and spatial considerations and encompasses a sense of eternal connection and deep emotional resonance. It suggests that love goes beyond immediate circumstances and thrives in a realm where the present moment becomes insignificant compared to the enduring essence of love itself.

But give them filet mignon and truffle sauce and then ask them to go back to living off the land, and they will always be thinking of that gourmet meal. If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it.

I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.
