T.S. Elliot Quote

In some ways, my writing and especially the collaboration with Daniel Paul Bates on this immense project usually finds its nurturing by writers that I am in awe of.

T.S. Elliot has a quote that is the foundation of most of my work - but more importantly it plays a substantial role with The Elk Hotel. The idea of traversing in circles and meeting up with your past self and seeing how much you have changed (or changed your perspective) is a concept that is very gratifying for me.

I am always finding myself running in small circles - revisiting my self from yesterday (or even two hours prior) and seeing things cast in a different light. Moments or experiences that I had dismissed prior but somehow now found magic in. Anyhow, this is definately one of my favorite quotes that I thought I'd share...


"We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

-- T.S. Elliot
