I hated the idleness, the stupidity, the respectability, the petty unselfishness.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

My law-givers are Erasmus and ...

My law-givers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses and St Paul.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Italy is such a delightful pla...

Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism--that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffГЁ or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The so called white races are ...

The so called white races are really pinko-grey.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Belfastas uncivilised as ever-...

Belfastas uncivilised as ever--savage black mothers in houses of dark red brick, friendly manufacturers too drunk to entertain you when you arrive. It amuses me till I get tired.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

But it struck him that people ...

But it struck him that people are not really dead until they are felt to be dead. As long as there is some misunderstanding about them, they possess a sort of immortality.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

You do care a little for me, I...

You do care a little for me, I know... but nothing to speak of, and you don't love me. I was yours once till death if you'd cared to keep me, but I'm someone else's now... and he's mine in a way that shocks you, but why don't you stop being shocked, and attend to your own happiness.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The bully and the victim never quite forget their first relations.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

He stretched out his hands as ...

He stretched out his hands as he sang, sadly, because all beauty is sad The poem had done no 'good' to anyone, but it was a passing reminder, a breath from the divine lips of beauty, a nightingale between two worlds of dust. Less explicit than the call to Krishna, it voiced our loneliness nevertheless, our isolation, our need for the Friend who never comes yet is not entirely disproved.

Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

This solitude opressed her; sh...

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.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England's.

How do I know what I have to say wntil I see what I have said?

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Ulysses ... is a dogged attemp...

Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Life's very difficult and full...

Life's very difficult and full of surprises. At all events, I've got as far as that. To be humble and kind, to go straight ahead, to love people rather than pity them, to remember the submerged--well, one can't do all these things at once, worse luck, because they're so contradictory. It's then that proportion comes in--to live by proportion. Don't begin with proportion. Only prigs do that. Let proportion come in as a last resource, when the better things have failed...

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It was unbearable, and he thought again, 'How unhappy I am!' and became happier.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I believe in teaching people to be individuals, and to understand other individuals.

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, 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.
