Graduation cards hereabouts and quotation sites agree that T.S. Eliot said,
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one
can go."  I'm no Eliot expert.  I'd like to know what the context for this
statement was.  The web hasn't been helpful.  Wikipedia is the most
straightforward site, saying that the words are only "attributed" to Eliot.
