Quotes

She would only point out the salvation that was latent in his own soul, and in the soul of every man. Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die. E. M. Forster
He educated Maurice, or rather his spirit educated Maurice's spirit, for they themselves became equal. Neither thought "Am I led; am I leading?" Love had caught him out of triviality and Maurice out of bewilderment in order that two imperfect souls might touch perfection. E. M. Forster

He had shown her all the workings of his soul, mistaking this for love. E. M. Forster
Lucy was suffering from the most grievous wrong which this world has yet discovered: diplomatic advantage had been taken of her sincerity, of her craving for sympathy and love. Such a wrong is not easily forgotten. Never again did she expose herself without due consideration and precaution against rebuff. And such a wrong may react disastrously upon the soul. E. M. Forster

I feel to you as Pippa to her fianc, only far more nobly, far more deeply, body and soul, no starved medievalism of course, only a – a particular harmony of body and soul that I don’t think women have even guessed. But you know. E. M. Forster
E. M. Forster quote: "The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and..."
The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul. E. M. Forster
E. M. Forster quote: "My conviction, says the mystic, gains infinitely the moment..."
My conviction, says the mystic, gains infinitely the moment another soul will believe in it. E. M. Forster
E. M. Forster quote: "My conviction gains infinitely the moment another soul will..."
My conviction gains infinitely the moment another soul will believe in it. E. M. Forster
Disdaining the heroic outfit, excitable in her methods, garrulous, episodical, shrill, she misled her lover much as she misled her aunt. He mistook her fertility for weakness. He supposed her "as clever as they make 'em," but no more, not realizing that she was penetrating to the depths of his soul, and approving of what she found there. E. M. Forster
