E. M. Forster
The so called white races are really pinko-grey.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
E. M. Forster
I do not believe in Belief.
E. M. Forster
Their quarrel was no more surprising than are most quarrels — inevitable at the time, incredible afterwards.
E. M. Forster
Reverence is fatal to literature.
E. M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E. M. Forster
