To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.

[E M Forster @EM_Forster]

One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life.

[E M Forster @EM_Forster]

Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

[E M Forster @EM_Forster]

The woman who can't influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.

[E M Forster @EM_Forster]

'I am studying Dante' sounds much more than 'I am reading Dante'. It is really much less. Study is only a serious form of gossip.
