E M Forster Quotes

“In this jangle of causes and effects, what had become of their true selves? Here Leonard lay dead in the garden, from natural causes; yet life was a deep, deep river, death a blue sky, life was a house, death a wisp of hay, a flower, a tower, life and death were anything and everything, except this ordered insanity, where the king takes the queen, and the ace the king. Ah, no; there was beauty and adventure behind, such as the man at her feet had yearned for; there was hope this side of the grave; there were truer relationships beyond the limits that fetter us now. As a prisoner looks up and sees stars beckoning, so she, from the turmoil and horror of those days, caught glimpses of the diviner wheels.”

“Las personas se transformaron en seres vivos. Hasta entonces, había supuesto que eran lo que él pretendía ser —lisas piezas de cartón sobre las que se dibujaba una imagen convencional—, pero cuando paseaba por los patios de noche y veía por las ventanas cómo unos cantaban y otros charlaban y otros estudiaban, se formó en él, por un proceso en que la razón no intervenía, la convicción de que eran seres humanos con sentimientos semejantes a los suyos.”

“In her eyes Henry was always moving, and causing others to move, until the ends of the earth met. But in time he must get too tired to move, and settle down. What next? The inevitable word. The release of the soul to its appropriate Heaven. Would they meet in it? Margaret believed in immortality for herself. An eternal future had always seemed natural to her. And Henry believed in it for himself. Yet, would they meet again? Are there not rather endless levels beyond the grave, as the theory that he had censured teaches? And his level, whether higher or lower, could it possibly be the same as hers?”
