More quotes by E. M. Forster
A critic has no right to the narrowness which is the frequent prerogative of the creative artist.
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
I am an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.
E. M. Forster
If there is on earth a house with many mansions, it is the house of words.
E. M. Forster
If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting--both for us and for her.
E. M. Forster
He had known so much about her once -what she thought, how she felt, the reasons for her actions. And now he only knew that he loved her, and all the other knowledge seemed passing from him just as he needed it most.
E. M. Forster
Aziz winked at him slowly and said: “...There are many ways of being a man mine is to express what is deepest in my heart.
E. M. Forster
It's not what people do to you, but what they mean, that hurts.
E. M. Forster
No one is more triumphant than the man who chooses a worthy subject and masters all its facts.
E. M. Forster
As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take the examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one be a penny the stupider.
E. M. Forster
We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next.
E. M. Forster
As her time in Florence drew to a close she was only at ease amongst those to whom she felt indifferent.
E. M. Forster
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
Only a struggle twists sentimentality and lust together into love.
E. M. Forster
God is not Love in the East. He is Power, although Mercy may temper it.
E. M. Forster
Do you suppose there's any difference between spring in nature and spring in man? But there we go, praising the one and condemning the other as improper, ashamed that the same laws work eternally through both.
E. M. Forster
This solitude opressed her she was accustomed to have her thoughts confirmed by others or, at all events, contradicted it was too dreadful not to know whether she was thinking right or wrong.
E. M. Forster
I believe we shall come to care about people less and less, Helen. The more people one knows, the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London. I quite expect to end my life caring most for a place.
E. M. Forster
She only felt that the candle would burn better, the packing go easier, the world be happier, if she could give and receive some human love.
E. M. Forster
A work of art is never finished. It is merely abandoned.
E. M. Forster
