E. M. Forster
Life - No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
I am an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.
E. M. Forster
It's not what people do to you, but what they mean, that hurts.
E. M. Forster
A critic has no right to the narrowness which is the frequent prerogative of the creative artist.
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
Lord I disbelieve - help thou my unbelief.
E. M. Forster
We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next.
E. M. Forster
Life is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along.
E. M. Forster
Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate.
E. M. Forster
