More quotes by E. M. Forster
They had nothing in common but the English language.
E. M. Forster
Have you ever noticed that there are people who do things which are most indelicate, and yet at the same time - beautiful?
E. M. Forster
Those who search for truth are too conscious of the maze to be hard on others...
E. M. Forster
I'd far rather leave a thought behind me than a child. Other people can have children.
E. M. Forster
There's never any great risk as long as you have money.
E. M. Forster
Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna.
E. M. Forster
Human beings have their great chance in the novel.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
It's not what people do to you, but what they mean, that hurts.
E. M. Forster
When love flies it is remembered not as love but as something else. Blessed are the uneducated, who forget it entirely, and are never conscious of folly or pruriency in the past, of long aimless conversations.
E. M. Forster
Excuse my mistakes, realize my limitations. Life is not easy as we know it on the earth.
E. M. Forster
We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next.
E. M. Forster
Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.
E. M. Forster
. . . life is sometimes life and sometimes only a drama, and one must learn to distinguish t'other from which . . .
E. M. Forster
The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.
E. M. Forster
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
