E M Forster quotes
" A facade of skyscrapers facing a lake and behind the facade, every type of dubiousness. "

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

E M Forster
" America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for. It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large. "

E M Forster
" As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider. "

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

E M Forster
" Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna. "

E M Forster
" Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent. "

E M Forster
" Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch. "

E M Forster
" How can I know what I think till I see what I say? "

E M Forster
" I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life. "

E M Forster
" I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper. "

E M Forster
" I have been racking my brains and can find no reply to this very reasonable question. I can only suggest that the fictional part of me dried up. "

E M Forster
" I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be. "

E M Forster
" 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 gone ourselves. "

E M Forster
" If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country. "

E M Forster
