More quotes by E. M. Forster
Only a struggle twists sentimentality and lust together into love.
E. M. Forster
The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.
E. M. Forster
Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.
E. M. Forster
Expansion, that is the idea the novelist must cling to, not completion, not rounding off, but opening out.
E. M. Forster
Oxford is Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.
E. M. Forster
She must be assured that it is not a criminal offense to love at first sight.
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
Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.
E. M. Forster
I don't know what to think until I see what I've said.
E. M. Forster
Do not be proud of your inconsistency. It is a pity, it is a pity that we should be equipped like this. It is a pity that Man cannot be at the same time impressive and truthful.
E. M. Forster
The historian must have some conception of how men who are not historians behave. Otherwise he will move in a world of the dead. He can only gain that conception through personal experience, and he can only use his personal experiences when he is a genius.
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
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
The bully and his victim never quite forget their first relations.
E. M. Forster
Books have to be read (worse luck it takes so long a time). It is the only way of discovering what they contain. A few savage tribes eat them, but reading is the only method of assimilation revealed to the West.
E. M. Forster
Human beings have their great chance in the novel.
E. M. Forster
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
Words deserted him immediately. He could only speak when he was not asked to.
E. M. Forster
It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools.
E. M. Forster
I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England's.
E. M. Forster
