More quotes by E. M. Forster
Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown
E. M. Forster
As her time in Florence drew to a close she was only at ease amongst those to whom she felt indifferent.
E. M. Forster
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
E. M. Forster
Romance only dies with life. No pair of pincers will ever pull it out of us. But there is a spurious sentiment which cannot resist the unexpected and the incongruous and the grotesque. A touch will loosen it, and the sooner it goes from us the better.
E. M. Forster
He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
E. M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E. M. Forster
There's never any great risk as long as you have money.
E. M. Forster
Love is always being given where it is not required.
E. M. Forster
There is an aristocracy of the sensitive. They represent the true human tradition of permanent victory over cruelty and chaos.
E. M. Forster
...the true spirit of gastronomic joylessness. Porridge fills the Englishman up, and prunes clear him out.
E. M. Forster
Only connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion.
E. M. Forster
Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety.
E. M. Forster
By the side of the everlasting Why there is a Yes--a transitory Yes if you like, but a Yes.
E. M. Forster
You talk as if a god had made the Machine, cried the other. I believe that you pray to it when you are unhappy. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but not everything.
E. M. Forster
The woman who can't influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.
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
She stopped and leant her elbows against the parapet of the embankment. He did likewise. There is at times a magic in identity of position it is one of the things that have suggested to us eternal comradeship.
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
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
Their quarrel was no more surprising than are most quarrels — inevitable at the time, incredible afterwards.
E. M. Forster
