More quotes by E. M. Forster
There is something majestic in the bad taste of Italy.
E. M. Forster
A critic has no right to the narrowness which is the frequent prerogative of the creative artist.
E. M. Forster
Without form, the sensitiveness vanishes.
E. M. Forster
Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?
E. M. Forster
One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
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
. . . life is sometimes life and sometimes only a drama, and one must learn to distinguish t'other from which . . .
E. M. Forster
Reverence is fatal to literature.
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
It is my fate and perhaps my temperament to sign agreements with fools.
E. M. Forster
The emotions may be endless. The more we express them, the more we may have to express.
E. M. Forster
I really don't know what happens next -- one so seldom does.
E. M. Forster
Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom.
E. M. Forster
You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you.
E. M. Forster
I only wish the poets would say this too: love is of the body not the body, but of the the body. Ah! the misery that would be saved if we confessed that! Ah! for a little directness to liberate the soul!
E. M. Forster
For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.
E. M. Forster
[...] it is right to be kind and even sacrifice ourselves to people who need kindness and lie in our way - otherwise, besides failing to help them, we run into the aridity of self-development. To seek for recipients of one's goodness, to play the Potted Jesus leads to the contray the Christian danger.
E. M. Forster
Life - No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
E. M. Forster
The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal. Both assumptions are false: both of them must be accepted as true if we are to go on eating and working and loving, and are to keep open a few breathing holes for the human spirit.
E. M. Forster
Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.
E. M. Forster
