It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Don't believe those lies about...

Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It's not what people do to you...

It's not what people do to you, but what they mean, that hurts.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

He educated Maurice, or rather...

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.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

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

You confuse what's important with what's impressive.

Science is better than sympathy, if only it is science.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Some leave our life with tears...

Some leave our life with tears, others with an insane frigidity; Mrs. Wilcox had taken the middle course, which only rarer natures can pursue. She had kept proportion. She had told a little of her grim secret to her friends, but not too much; she had shut up her heart--almost, but not entirely. 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.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

What is the good of your stars...

What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives? They have never entered into mine, but into yours, we thought--Haven't we all to struggle against life's daily greyness, against pettiness, against mechanical cheerfulness, against suspicion? I struggle by remembering my friends; others I have known by remembering some place--some beloved place or tree--we thought you one of these.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

All men are equal - all men, t...

All men are equal - all men, that is, who possess umbrellas.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

We cast a shadow on something ...

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

... there are shadows because ...

... there are shadows because there are hills.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Reformers who are obsessed wit...

Reformers who are obsessed with purity and cannot see that their obsession is impure.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

In the creative state a man is...

In the creative state a man is taken out of himself. He lets down as it were a bucket into his subconscious, and draws up something which is normally beyond his reach. He mixes this thing with his normal experiences and out of the mixture he makes a work of art.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

But the body is deeper than th...

But the body is deeper than the soul and its secrets inscrutable.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Only a writer who has the sense of evil can make goodness readable.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

They cared for no one, they we...

They cared for no one, they were outside humanity, and death, had it come, would only have continued their pursuit of a retreating horizon.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

They go forth [into the world]...

They go forth [into the world] with well-developed bodies, fairly developed minds and undeveloped hearts. An undeveloped heart - not a cold one. The difference is important.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

In time, Mr Hall, one gets to ...

In time, Mr Hall, one gets to recognize that sneer, that hardness, for fornication extends far beyond the actual deed. Were it a deed only, I for one would not hold it anathema. But when the nations went a whoring they invariably ended by denying God, I think, and until all sexual irregularities and not some of them are penal the Church will never reconquer England.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I do not believe in Belief....

I do not believe in Belief.
