More quotes by E. M. Forster
It isn't possible to love and to part.
E. M. Forster
It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted.
E. M. Forster
All this fame and money, which have so thrilled me when they came to others, leave me cold when they come to me. I am not an ascetic, but I don't know what to do with them, and my daily life has never been so trying, and there is no one to fill it emotionally.
E. M. Forster
Science is better than sympathy, if only it is science.
E. M. Forster
One can run away from women, turn them out, or give in to them. No fourth course.
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
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
The woman who can't influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.
E. M. Forster
Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.
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
Some reviews give pain. This is regrettable, but no author has the right to whine. He was not obliged to be an author. He invited publicity, and he must take the publicity that comes along.
E. M. Forster
Hope, politeness, the blowing of a nose, the squeak of a boot, all produce boum.
E. M. Forster
Words deserted him immediately. He could only speak when he was not asked to.
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
God is not Love in the East. He is Power, although Mercy may temper it.
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
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
For you cannot have gentility without paying for it.
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
I hated the idleness, the stupidity, the respectability, the petty unselfishness.
E. M. Forster
