More quotes by E. M. Forster
It's not what people do to you, but what they mean, that hurts.
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
For you cannot have gentility without paying for it.
E. M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E. M. Forster
Life is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along.
E. M. Forster
There's never any great risk as long as you have money.
E. M. Forster
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world.
E. M. Forster
It is the starved imagination, not the well nourished, that is afraid.
E. M. Forster
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper.
E. M. Forster
Only connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion.
E. M. Forster
Man has to pick up the use of his functions as he goes along- especially the function of Love.
E. M. Forster
Hope, politeness, the blowing of a nose, the squeak of a boot, all produce boum.
E. M. Forster
It is the function of the novelist to reveal the hidden life at its source: to tell us more about Queen Victoria than could be known, and thus to produce a character who is not the Queen Victoria of history.
E. M. Forster
One can run away from women, turn them out, or give in to them. No fourth course.
E. M. Forster
Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.
E. M. Forster
When love flies it is remembered not as love but as something else. Blessed are the uneducated, who forget it entirely, and are never conscious of folly or pruriency in the past, of long aimless conversations.
E. M. Forster
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
E. M. Forster
How few writers can prostitute all their powers!
E. M. Forster
The traveller who has gone to Italy to study the tactile values of Giotto, or the corruption of the Papacy, may return remembering nothing but the blue sky and the men and women who live under it.
E. M. Forster
One grows accustomed to being praised, or being blamed, or being advised, but it is unusual to be understood.
E. M. Forster
