Without form, the sensitiveness vanishes.
E. M. Forster
Ah, but you see, I didn't want to be fair.
E. M. Forster
Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its highest. Live in fragments no longer
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
It is thus, if there is any rule, that we ought to die--neither as victim nor as fanatic, but as the seafarer who can greet with an equal eye the deep that he is entering, and the shore that he must leave.
E. M. Forster
There is much good luck in the world, but it is luck. We are none of us safe. We are children, playing or quarrelling on the line.
E. M. Forster
Ideas are fatal to caste.
E. M. Forster
Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.
E. M. Forster
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
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
To trust people is a luxury in which only the wealthy can indulge the poor cannot afford it.
E. M. Forster
Books have to be read it is the only way of discovering what they contain.
E. M. Forster
Some reviews give pain. This is regrettable, but no author has the right to whine. He was not obliged to be an author. He invited publicity, and he must take the publicity that comes along.
E. M. Forster
If God could tell the story of the Universe, the Universe would become fictitious.
E. M. Forster
I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England's.
E. M. Forster
All a child's life depends on the ideal it has of its parents. Destroy that and everything goes — morals, behaviour, everything. Absolute trust in some one else is the essence of education.
E. M. Forster
Humility is a quality for which I have only a limited admiration. In many phases of life it is a great mistake and degenerates into defensiveness or hypocrisy.
E. M. Forster
It is easy to face Death and Fate, and the things that sound so dreadful. It is on my muddles that I look back with horror--on thethings that I might have avoided.
E. M. Forster
Those who search for truth are too conscious of the maze to be hard on others...
E. M. Forster
