E. M. Forster Quotes

E. M. Forster

I believe that I could walk up to the mill and knock on the door and I would be welcome except that they have orders to challenge all travelers and ask to see their papers.

They should never be fighting against us and I do not like to think of the killing. Ernest Hemingway
