Life - No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
E. M. Forster
Image
I'd far rather leave a thought behind me than a child. Other people can have children.
E. M. Forster
Image
There was something better in life than this rub­bish, if only he could get to it—love—nobility—big spaces where passion clasped peace, spaces no science could reach, but they existed for ever, full of woods some of them, and arched with majestic sky and a friend. . .

E. M. Forster
Image
The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul.
E. M. Forster
Image
Democracy is not a Beloved Republic really, and never will be. But it is less hateful than other contemporary forms of government, and to that extent deserves our support.
E. M. Forster
Image
There's never any great risk as long as you have money.
E. M. Forster
Image
It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools.
E. M. Forster
Image
He had shown her all the workings of his soul, mistaking this for love.
E. M. Forster
Image
Chess is a forcing house where the fruits of character can ripen more fully than in life
E. M. Forster
Image
It is so difficult - at least, I find it difficult - to understand people who speak the truth.
E. M. Forster
Image
Ah, but you see, I didn't want to be fair.
E. M. Forster
Image
Very notable was his distinction between coarseness and vulgarity, coarseness, revealing something vulgarity, concealing something.
E. M. Forster
Image
But after all, what have we to do with taverns? Real menace belongs to the drawing-room.
