Additional quotes by E. M. Forster

I seem fated to pass through the world without colliding with it or moving it — and I'm sure I can't tell you whether the fate's good or evil. I don't die — I don't fall in love. And if other people die or fall in love they always do it when I'm just not there.

I only wish the poets would say this too: love is of the body; not the body, but of the the body. Ah! the misery that would be saved if we confessed that! Ah! for a little directness to liberate the soul!

The house was very quiet, and the fog — we are in November now — pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost.

Miss Abbott, don't worry over me. Some people are born not to do things. I'm one of them. - E. M. Forster
