Words deserted him immediately. He could only speak when he was not asked to.
E. M. Forster
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
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
I believe in teaching people to be individuals, and to understand other individuals.
E. M. Forster
There lies at the back of every creed something terrible and hard for which the worshipper may one day be required to suffer.
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
Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.
