More quotes by 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
I do not believe in Belief.
E. M. Forster
It is so difficult - at least, I find it difficult - to understand people who speak the truth.
E. M. Forster
He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
E. M. Forster
Those who search for truth are too conscious of the maze to be hard on others...
E. M. Forster
There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.
E. M. Forster
I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England's.
E. M. Forster
The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken.
E. M. Forster
They had nothing in common but the English language.
E. M. Forster
It was not that ladies were inferior to men it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves. Indirectly, by means of tact and a spotless name, a lady could accomplish much. But if she rushed into the fray herself she would be first censured, then despised, and finally ignored.
E. M. Forster
The emotions may be endless. The more we express them, the more we may have to express.
E. M. Forster
One marvels why the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.
E. M. Forster
A novel must give a sense of permanence as well as a sense of life.
E. M. Forster
I'd far rather leave a thought behind me than a child. Other people can have children.
E. M. Forster
The historian records, but the novelist creates.
E. M. Forster
No one is more triumphant than the man who chooses a worthy subject and masters all its facts.
E. M. Forster
Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?
E. M. Forster
You confuse what's important with what's impressive.
E. M. Forster
It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools.
E. M. Forster
When you come back you will not be you. And I may not be I.
E. M. Forster
