E. M. Forster Quotes About Romance

Quotes about: Romance

• It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.

  E. M. Forster

  Love, Romantic, Romance

  E.M. Forster (2012). “A Room with a View”, p.166, Courier Corporation

• Romance only dies with life. No pair of pincers will ever pull it out of us. But there is a spurious sentiment which cannot resist the unexpected and the incongruous and the grotesque. A touch will loosen it, and the sooner it goes from us the better.

  E. M. Forster

  Romance, Pairs, Unexpected

  E. M. Forster (2013). “Delphi Collected Works of E. M. Forster (Illustrated)”, p.30, Delphi Classics

• The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the Greeks. Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.

  E. M. Forster

  Believe, Essence, Romance

  E. M. Forster (2013). “Delphi Collected Works of E. M. Forster (Illustrated)”, p.606, Delphi Classics
