More quotes by E. M. Forster
I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult.
E. M. Forster
Logic! Good gracious! What rubbish!
E. M. Forster
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world.
E. M. Forster
It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted.
E. M. Forster
We may divide characters into flat and round.
E. M. Forster
My law-givers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses and St Paul.
E. M. Forster
The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the Greeks. Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.
E. M. Forster
England has always been disinclined to accept human nature.
E. M. Forster
A novel must give a sense of permanence as well as a sense of life.
E. M. Forster
One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
E. M. Forster
What the world most needs today are negative virtues - not minding people, not being huffy, touchy, irritable or revengeful.
E. M. Forster
Those who search for truth are too conscious of the maze to be hard on others...
E. M. Forster
Democracy is not a Beloved Republic really, and never will be. But it is less hateful than other contemporary forms of government, and to that extent deserves our support.
E. M. Forster
You want to love everyone equally, and that's worse than impossible--it's wrong.
E. M. Forster
When that strange race nears the dust and is condemned as untouchable, then nature remembers the physical perfection that she accomplished elsewhere, and throws out a god-not many, but one here and there, to prove to society how little its categories impress her.
E. M. Forster
Tolerance is just a makeshift, suitable for an overcrowded and overheated planet. It carries on when love gives out, and love generally gives out as soon as we move away from our home and our friends.
E. M. Forster
I'd far rather leave a thought behind me than a child. Other people can have children.
E. M. Forster
I hated the idleness, the stupidity, the respectability, the petty unselfishness.
E. M. Forster
