In the light of her son's comm...

In the light of her son's comment she reconsidered the scene at the mosque, to see whose impression was correct. Yes it could be worked into quite an unpleasant scene. The doctor had begun by bullying her, had said Mrs Callendar was nice, and then - finding the ground safe - had changed; he had alternately whined over his grievances and patronized her, had run a dozen ways in a single sentence, had been unreliable, inquisitive, vain. Yes, it was all true, but how false as a summary of the man; the essential life of him

No one is more triumphant than the man who chooses a worthy subject and masters all its facts.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

One grows accustomed to being ...

One grows accustomed to being praised, or being blamed, or being advised, but it is unusual to be understood.

There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The people I admire most are t...

The people I admire most are those who are sensitive and want to create something or discover something, and do not see life in terms of power.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

George had turned at the sound...

George had turned at the sound of her arrival. For a moment he contemplated her, as one who had fallen out of heaven. He saw radiant joy in her face, he saw the flowers beat against her dress in blue waves. The bushes above them closed. He stepped quickly forward and kissed her. Before she could speak, almost before she could feel, a voice called 'Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!' The silence of life had been broken by Miss Bartlett, who stood brown against the view.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

As her time in Florence drew to a close she was only at ease amongst those to whom she felt indifferent.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

But this time I'm not to blame...

But this time I'm not to blame; I want you to believe that. I simply slipped into those violets. No, I want to be really truthful. I am a little to blame. The sky, you know, was gold, and the ground all blue, and for a moment he looked like some one in a book.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

When love flies it is remember...

When love flies it is remembered not as love but as something else.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Why can't we be friends now?'...

Why can't we be friends now?' said the other, holding him affectionately. 'It's what I want. It's what you want.' But the horses didn't want it Ђ' they swerved apart: the earth didn't want it, sending up rocks through which riders must pass single file; the temple, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the carrion, the Guest House, that came into view as they emerged from the gap and saw Mau beneath: they didn't want it, they said in their hundred voices 'No, not yet,' and the sky said 'No, not there.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

When we were only acquaintance...

When we were only acquaintances, you let me be myself, but now you're always protecting me... I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult. Can't I be trusted to face the truth but I must get it second-hand through you? A woman's place!

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Sometimes I think too much fus...

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.

Don't go fighting against the ...

Don't go fighting against the Spring.

Human beings have their great ...

Human beings have their great chance in the novel.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

School was the unhappiest time...

School was the unhappiest time of my life and the worst trick it ever played on me was to pretend that it was the world in miniature. For it hindered me from discovering how lovely and delightful and kind the world can be, and how much of it is intelligible.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Man has to pick up the use of ...

Man has to pick up the use of his functions as he goes along- especially the function of Love.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I only wish the poets would sa...

I only wish the poets would say this too: love is of the body; not the body, but of the the body. Ah! the misery that would be saved if we confessed that! Ah! for a little directness to liberate the soul!

Do you remember Italy?...

Do you remember Italy?

One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It so happened that Lucy, who ...

It so happened that Lucy, who found daily life rather chaotic, entered a more solid world when she opened the piano. She was then no longer either deferential or patronizing; no longer either a rebel or a slave.
