Thomas Stearns Eliot (Thomas Stearns Eliot, September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965) was originally from the United States and later became a British citizen. He is the largest representative of late symbolist literature and the most influential poet and critic of Western modernist literature. Eliot's "The Waste Land", published in 1922, won him international reputation and is regarded by critics as the most influential poem of the twentieth century and a milestone in modern British and American poetry. Below are some quotes about Eliot that I have compiled for your reference.
