More From E. M. Forster
- "Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due – she reminds us too much of a prima donna."
- "The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal."
- "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."
