More quotes by E. M. Forster
They had nothing in common but the English language.
E. M. Forster
Culture had worked in her own case, but during the last few weeks she had doubted whether it humanized the majority, so wide and so widening is the gulf that stretches between the natural and the philosophic man, so many the good chaps who are wrecked in trying to cross it.
E. M. Forster
Don't be mysterious there isn't the time.
E. M. Forster
If there is on earth a house with many mansions, it is the house of words.
E. M. Forster
It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.
E. M. Forster
All that is observable in a man-that is to say his actions and such of his spiritual existence as can be deduced from his actions-falls into the domain of history.
E. M. Forster
All men are equal — all men, that is to say, who possess umbrellas.
E. M. Forster
I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult.
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
God is not Love in the East. He is Power, although Mercy may temper it.
E. M. Forster
Reverence is fatal to literature.
E. M. Forster
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world.
E. M. Forster
It is devilish difficult to criticise society & also create human beings.
E. M. Forster
A critic has no right to the narrowness which is the frequent prerogative of the creative artist.
E. M. Forster
Words deserted him immediately. He could only speak when he was not asked to.
E. M. Forster
The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists.
E. M. Forster
Intuition attracts those who wish to be spiritual without any bother, because it promises a heaven where the intuitions of others can be ignored.
E. M. Forster
She loved him absolutely, perhaps for half an hour.
E. M. Forster
The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.
E. M. Forster
The so called white races are really pinko-grey.
E. M. Forster
