Don't be mysterious; there isn't the time.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I really don't know what happe...

I really don't know what happens next -- one so seldom does.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

When that strange race nears t...

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.

I don't know what to think until I see what I've said.

. . . life is sometimes life and sometimes only a drama, and one must learn to distinguish t'other from which . . .

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.

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

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

Aziz winked at him slowly and said: '...There are many ways of being a man; mine is to express what is deepest in my heart.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Do you suppose there's any dif...

Do you suppose there's any difference between spring in nature and spring in man? But there we go, praising the one and condemning the other as improper, ashamed that the same laws work eternally through both.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It is obvious enough for the r...

It is obvious enough for the reader to conclude, 'She loves young Emerson.' A reader in Lucy's place would not find it obvious. Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice, and we welcome 'nerves' or any other shibboleth that will cloak our personal desire. She loved Cecil; George made her nervous; will the reader explain to her that the phrases should have been reversed?

Edward Forster 502 quotes

He built up a situation that was far enough from the truth. It never occurred to him that Helen was to blame. He forgot the intensity of their talk, the charm that had been lent him by sincerity, the magic of Oniton under darkness and of the whispering river. Helen loved the absolute. Leonard had been ruined absolutely, and had appeared to her as a man apart, isolated from the world. A real man, who cared for adventure and beauty, who desired to live decently and pay his way, who could have travelled more gloriously th

At the moment they vanished they were everywhere, the cool benediction of the night descended, the stars sparkled, and the whole universe was a hill.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

When love flies it is remember...

When love flies it is remembered not as love but as something else. Blessed are the uneducated, who forget it entirely, and are never conscious of folly or pruriency in the past, of long aimless conversations.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It is easy to sympathize at a distance,' said an old gentleman with a beard. 'I value more the kind word that is spoken close to my ear.

Man can learn everything if he will but try.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Excuse my mistakes, realize my limitations. Life is not easy as we know it on the earth.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Even a fellow with a camera has his favourite subjects, as we can see looking through the Kodak-albums of our friends. One amateur prefers the family group, another bathing scenes, another cows upon an alp, or kittens held upside down in the arms of a black-faced child. The tendency to choose one subject rather than another indicates the photographer's temperament. Nevertheless, his passion is for photography rather than for selection, a kitten will serve when no cows are available...

Books have to be read it is the only way of discovering what they contain.
