Naked I came into this world, naked I shall go out of it. And a very good thing too, for it reminds me that I am naked under my shirt, whatever its colour (E M Forster Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wants to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time (E M Forster Quotes)
I don’t think literature will be purged until its philosophic pretentiousness is extruded, and I shant live to see that purge, nor perhaps when it has happened will anything survive (E M Forster Quotes)
It is now only in letters I write what I feel: not in literature any more, and I seldom say it, because I keep trying to be amusing (E M Forster Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Intuition attracts those who wish to be spiritual without any bother, because it promises a heaven where the intuitions of others can be ignored (E M Forster Quotes)
The hungry and the homeless don’t care about liberty any more than they care about cultural heritage. To pretend that they do care is cant (E M Forster Quotes)
Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal. But we have not yet learned to manage our materialism and carnality properly; they are still entangled with the desire for ownership (E M Forster Quotes)
In daily life we never understand each other, neither complete clairvoyance nor complete confessional exists (E M Forster Quotes)
In the novel we can know people perfectly, and, apart from the general pleasure of reading, we can find here a compensation for their dimness in life (E M Forster Quotes)
Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom (E M Forster Quotes)
Personal relations are the important thing for ever and ever, and not this outer life of telegrams and anger (E M Forster Quotes)
Towns are excrescences, gray fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves (E M Forster Quotes)
Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wishes to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time (E M Forster Quotes)
Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand (E M Forster Quotes)
I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them (E M Forster Quotes)
I won’t be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult (E M Forster Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Let us think of people as starting life with an experience they forget and ending it with one which they anticipate but cannot understand (E M Forster Quotes)
The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul (E M Forster Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them (E M Forster Quotes)
An acquaintance had become a lover, might become a husband, but would retain all that she had noted in the acquaintance; and love must confirm an old relation rather than reveal a new one (E M Forster Quotes)
At times our need for a sympathetic gesture is so great that we care not what exactly it signifies or how much we may have to pay for it afterwards (E M Forster Quotes)
She only felt that the candle would burn better, the packing go easier, the world be happier, if she could give and receive some human love (E M Forster Quotes)
They cared for no one, they were outside humanity, and death, had it come, would only have continued their pursuit of a retreating horizon (E M Forster Quotes)
Life is like a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the intrument as you go along (E M Forster Quotes)
It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted (E M Forster Quotes)
Sometimes I think too much fuss is made about marriage. Century after century of carnal embracement and we’re still no nearer to understanding one another (E M Forster Quotes)
