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.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

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

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

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.

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.

The so called white races are really pinko-grey.

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.

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

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

God is not Love in the East. He is Power, although Mercy may temper it.

In the creative state a man is taken out of himself.

One's favorite book is as elusive as one's favorite pudding.

English literature is a flying fish.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

I am actually what my age and my upbringing have made me--a bourgeois who adheres to the British constitution, adheres to it rather than supports it, and the fact that this isn't dignified doesn't worry me.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Solidity, caution, integrity, ...

Solidity, caution, integrity, efficiency. Lack of imagination, hypocrisy. These qualities characterize the middle classes in everycountry, but in England they are national characteristics.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The Germans are called brutal,...

The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.

For you cannot have gentility without paying for it.

But after all, what have we to do with taverns? Real menace belongs to the drawing-room.
