This element of surprise or mystery the detective element as it is sometimes rather emptily called is of great importance in a plot.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

He had known so much about her...

He had known so much about her once -what she thought, how she felt, the reasons for her actions. And now he only knew that he loved her, and all the other knowledge seemed passing from him just as he needed it most.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It is pleasant to be transferred from an office where one is afraid of a sergeant-major into an office where one can intimidate generals, and perhaps this is why history is so attractive to the more timid among us. We can recover self-confidence by snubbing the dead.

When that strange race nears the dust and is condemned as untouchable, then nature remembers the physical perfection that she accomplished elsewhere, and throws out a god-not many, but one here and there, to prove to society how little its categories impress her.

He was obliged however to throw over Christianity. Those who base their conduct upon what they are rather than upon what they ought to be, always must throw it over in the end . . . .

Edward Forster 502 quotes

He educated Maurice, or rather his spirit educated Maurice's spirit, for they themselves became equal. Neither thought 'Am I led; am I leading?' Love had caught him out of triviality and Maurice out of bewilderment in order that two imperfect souls might touch perfection.
