More quotes by E. M. Forster
It isn't possible to love and to part.
E. M. Forster
When that strange race nears the dust and is condemned as untouchable, then nature remembers the physical perfection that she accomplished elsewhere, and throws out a god-not many, but one here and there, to prove to society how little its categories impress her.
E. M. Forster
It is easy to face Death and Fate, and the things that sound so dreadful. It is on my muddles that I look back with horror--on thethings that I might have avoided.
E. M. Forster
The English countryside, its growth and its destruction, is a genuine and tragic theme.
E. M. Forster
Logic! Good gracious! What rubbish!
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
You talk as if a god had made the Machine, cried the other. I believe that you pray to it when you are unhappy. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but not everything.
E. M. Forster
There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.
E. M. Forster
There is something majestic in the bad taste of Italy.
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
This element of surprise or mystery the detective element as it is sometimes rather emptily called is of great importance in a plot.
E. M. Forster
You confuse what's important with what's impressive.
E. M. Forster
I do not believe in Belief.
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
