More quotes by E. M. Forster
The historian records, but the novelist creates.
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
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
A critic has no right to the narrowness which is the frequent prerogative of the creative artist.
E. M. Forster
We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.
E. M. Forster
It is easy to sympathize at a distance,' said an old gentleman with a beard. 'I value more the kind word that is spoken close to my ear.
E. M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E. M. Forster
Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown
E. M. Forster
There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.
E. M. Forster
I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England's.
E. M. Forster
The more highly public life is organized the lower does its morality sink.
E. M. Forster
Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its highest. Live in fragments no longer
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
God is not Love in the East. He is Power, although Mercy may temper it.
E. M. Forster
Excuse my mistakes, realize my limitations. Life is not easy as we know it on the earth.
E. M. Forster
One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
E. M. Forster
He educated Maurice, or rather his spirit educated Maurice's spirit, for they themselves became equal. Neither thought Am I led am I leading? Love had caught him out of triviality and Maurice out of bewilderment in order that two imperfect souls might touch perfection.
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 kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected.
E. M. Forster
Only connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion.
E. M. Forster
