More Quotes from E.M. Forster:
My conviction, says the mystic, gains infinitely the moment another soul will believe in it.E.M. Forster
It was not that ladies were inferior to men; it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves.

E.M. Forster
By the side of the everlasting Why there is a Yes--a transitory Yes if you like, but a Yes.
E.M. Forster
