More quotes by E. M. Forster
How can I know what I think till I see what I say?
E. M. Forster
Do you suppose there's any difference between spring in nature and spring in man? But there we go, praising the one and condemning the other as improper, ashamed that the same laws work eternally through both.
E. M. Forster
Hardship is vanishing, but so is style, and the two are more closely connected than the present generation supposes.
E. M. Forster
The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
E. M. Forster
Do you remember Italy?
E. M. Forster
To trust people is a luxury in which only the wealthy can indulge the poor cannot afford it.
E. M. Forster
It is devilish difficult to criticise society & also create human beings.
E. M. Forster
English literature is a flying fish.
E. M. Forster
A mirror does not develop because an historical pageant passes in front of it. It only develops when it gets a fresh coat of quicksilver in other words, when it acquires new sensitiveness and the novel's success lies in its own sensitiveness, not in the success of its subject matter.
E. M. Forster
It is the starved imagination, not the well nourished, that is afraid.
E. M. Forster
If God could tell the story of the Universe, the Universe would become fictitious.
E. M. Forster
As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take the examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one be a penny the stupider.
E. M. Forster
As her time in Florence drew to a close she was only at ease amongst those to whom she felt indifferent.
E. M. Forster
I believe in teaching people to be individuals, and to understand other individuals.
E. M. Forster
There is much good luck in the world, but it is luck. We are none of us safe. We are children, playing or quarrelling on the line.
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
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
Of course he despised the world as a whole every thoughtful man should it is almost a test of refinement.
E. M. Forster
The bully and his victim never quite forget their first relations.
E. M. Forster
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
E. M. Forster
