More quotes by 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
It was not that ladies were inferior to men it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves. Indirectly, by means of tact and a spotless name, a lady could accomplish much. But if she rushed into the fray herself she would be first censured, then despised, and finally ignored.
E. M. Forster
To trust people is a luxury in which only the wealthy can indulge the poor cannot afford it.
E. M. Forster
Only connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion.
E. M. Forster
We may divide characters into flat and round.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
Words deserted him immediately. He could only speak when he was not asked to.
E. M. Forster
There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.
E. M. Forster
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
E. M. Forster
At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.
E. M. Forster
Mistrust all enterprises that require new clothes.
E. M. Forster
Reverence is fatal to literature.
E. M. Forster
Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal. But we have not yet learned to manage our materialism and carnality properly they are still entangled with the desire for ownership.
E. M. Forster
Happiness in the ordinary sense is not what one needs in life, though one is right to aim at it. The true satisfaction is to come through, and see those whom one lives come through.
E. M. Forster
Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand.
E. M. Forster
