E. M. Forster
  • What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

  • England has always been disinclined to accept human nature.

  • A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.

  • The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.

  • The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.
