E. M. Forster

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
You confuse what's important with what's impressive.
E. M. Forster
Reverence is fatal to literature.
E. M. Forster
When I think of what life is, and how seldom love is answered by love it is one of the moments for which the world was made.
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
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
