But nothing in India is identi...

But nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is ...

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is the most sublime noise that has ever penetrated into the ear of man.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Be soft, even if you stand to ...

Be soft, even if you stand to get squashed.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

At the side of the everlasting...

At the side of the everlasting why, is a yes, and a yes, and a yes.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

A poem is true if it hangs tog...

A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The only books that influence ...

The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

One always tends to overpraise...

One always tends to overpraise a long book, because one has got through it.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I suggest that the only books ...

I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Curiosity is one of the lowest...

Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Failure or success seem to hav...

Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars. But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The most successful career mus...

The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Those who prepared for all the...

Those who prepared for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Two cheers for Democracy: one ...

Two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Only connect! That was the who...

Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

A funeral is not death, any mo...

A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

At night, when the curtains ar...

At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Death destroys a man, the idea...

Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Spoon feeding in the long run ...

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Oxford is -- Oxford: not a mer...

Oxford is -- Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The final test for a novel wil...

The final test for a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.
