E. M. Forster
When you come back you will not be you. And I may not be I.
E. M. Forster
Human beings have their great chance in the novel.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
I don't know what to think until I see what I've said.
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
The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.
E. M. Forster
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
