E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
But after all, what have we to do with taverns? Real menace belongs to the drawing-room.
E. M. Forster
If there is on earth a house with many mansions, it is the house of words.
E. M. Forster
Mistrust all enterprises that require new clothes.
E. M. Forster
Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.
E. M. Forster
Our final experience, like our first, is conjectural. We move between two darkness's.
E. M. Forster
