"One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life." ― E. M. Forster Topic(s): Life More From E. M. Forster "If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country." "The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can’t touch." "I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life." More In Life "Waste your money and you’re only out of money, but waste your time and you’ve lost a part of your life."― Michael LeBoeuf "Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who’s sorry for a gnat or girl?"― Elizabeth Barrett Browning "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about."― Oscar Wilde
