[edit] Illustrating in the name of who?

Why is the E M Forster quotation page full of 'themed' images? Doesn't this rather cheapen the content? And isn't the choice of images extremely personal and perspectival? I recommend deleting these images which give the impression of a children's encyclopædia.

[edit] Unsourced

Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable, precise and verifiable source for any quote on this list please move it to E. M. Forster. --Antiquary 11:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

  • I would rather be a coward than brave, because people hurt you when you are brave.
  • Nonsense and beauty have close connections.
  • Unless we remember we cannot understand.
  • People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.
  • Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

[edit] Betraying my country and betraying my friend

As far as I know it is "guts" and not "decency":

If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
