M. Forster
liking-someone literature reason
Liking one person is an extra reason for liking another.
practice literature life-is
Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.
thinking criticism literature
Think before you speak is criticism's motto; speak before you think, creation's.
death men ideas
Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.
stars night hills
At the moment they vanished they were everywhere, the cool benediction of the night descended, the stars sparkled, and the whole universe was a hill.
poetry together literature
A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.
art perfect facts
The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists.
men holiness literature
I'm a holy man minus the holiness.
men literature charm
Charm, in most men and nearly all women, is a decoration.
creativity writing creative
Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.
people wells howards-end
People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.
virginia light missing
Like all her friends, I miss her greatly...But...I am sure there is no case for lamentation...Virginia Woolf got through an immense amount of work, she gave acute pleasure in new ways, she pushed the light of the English language a little further against darkness. Those are facts.
land people literature
Love and understand the Italians, for the people are more marvellous than the land.
falling-in-love writing men
A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.
