We move between two darknesses...

We move between two darknesses.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Let us think of people as star...

Let us think of people as starting life with an experience they forget and ending it with one which they anticipate but cannot understand.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The sun was already declining ...

The sun was already declining and each of the trees held a premonition of night.

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.

The historian records, but the novelist creates.

A novel must give a sense of permanence as well as a sense of life.

Chess is a forcing house where the fruits of character can ripen more fully than in life

Let her go to Italy!' he cried. 'Let her meddle with what she doesn't understand!

A facade of skyscrapers facing...

A facade of skyscrapers facing a lake and behind the facade, every type of dubiousness.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It is the vice of a vulgar mind to be thrilled by bigness, to think that a thousand square miles are a thousand times more wonderful than one square mile, and that a million square miles are almost the same as heaven.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

...the true spirit of gastronomic joylessness. Porridge fills the Englishman up, and prunes clear him out.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Lord I disbelieve - help thou ...

Lord I disbelieve - help thou my unbelief.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Life - No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

It is thus, if there is any rule, that we ought to die--neither as victim nor as fanatic, but as the seafarer who can greet with an equal eye the deep that he is entering, and the shore that he must leave.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Science, when applied to personal relationships, is always just wrong .

Edward Forster 502 quotes

But I have seen my obstacles: ...

But I have seen my obstacles: trivialities, learning and poetry. This last needs explaining: the old artist's readiness to dissolve characters into a haze. Characters cannot come alive and fight and guide the world unless the novelist wants them to remain characters.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

Axiom : Novel must have either...

Axiom : Novel must have either one living character or a perfect pattern: fails otherwise.

Edward Forster 502 quotes

You told me once that we shall...

You told me once that we shall be judged by our intentions, not by our accomplishments. I thought it a grand remark. But we must intend to accomplish - not sit intending on a chair.
