E. M. Forster
Do you remember Italy?
E. M. Forster
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world.
E. M. Forster
All that is observable in a man-that is to say his actions and such of his spiritual existence as can be deduced from his actions-falls into the domain of history.
E. M. Forster
Man has to pick up the use of his functions as he goes along- especially the function of Love.
E. M. Forster
For it is a serious thing to have been watched. We all radiate something curiously intimate when we believe ourselves to be alone.
E. M. Forster
I am an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
E. M. Forster
The book [ A Passage to India ] shows signs of fatigue and disillusionment but it has chapters of clear and triumphant beauty, and above all it makes us wonder, what will he write next?
E. M. Forster
Money pads the edges of things.
E. M. Forster
When love flies it is remembered not as love but as something else. Blessed are the uneducated, who forget it entirely, and are never conscious of folly or pruriency in the past, of long aimless conversations.
E. M. Forster
Only connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion.
E. M. Forster
This solitude opressed her she was accustomed to have her thoughts confirmed by others or, at all events, contradicted it was too dreadful not to know whether she was thinking right or wrong.
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
Democracy is not a Beloved Republic really, and never will be. But it is less hateful than other contemporary forms of government, and to that extent deserves our support.
E. M. Forster
