Today is the birthday of Edward Morgan Forster (January 1, 1879 – June 7, 1970), novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist."Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice."
- E.M. Forster
"We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm--yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine."
- E.M. Forster
"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
- E.M. Forster
"Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them."
- E.M. Forster
"I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them."
- E.M. Forster
