“Liberals and conservatives tend to view the economy in purely materialistic terms. They make growth, security, and prosperity ends in themselves. They exalt enlightened self-interest. They tell us that productive work is the fundamental source of human dignity.But for Christians, (Greg) Forster insists, the materialistic view is a lie. The modern economic man is prone to workaholism, Envy, greed, anxiety, and a host of other ills. The great task for Christians is to become, broadly speaking, innovative entrepreneurs: people who are not only more productive in their work then there would be leaving neighbors, but also more creative, generous, honest, and humane.”

Greg Forster, Joy for the World: How Christianity Lost Its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It“Miss Abbott, don't worry over me. Some people are born not to do things. I'm one of them.”
E.M. Forster, Where Angels Fear to Tread“[EM] Forster was the only living writer whom he would have described as his master. In other people’s books he found examples of style which he wanted to imitate and learn from. In Forster he found a key to the whole art of writing. The Zen masters of archery—of whom, in those days, Christopher had never heard—start by teaching you the mental attitude with which you must pick up the bow. A Forster novel taught Christopher the mental attitude with which he must pick up the pen.”
Christopher Isherwood“ Consequently the Wolfenden recommendations will be indefinitely rejected, police prosecutions will continue and Clive on the bench will continue to sentence Alec in the dock. Maurice may get off.”
E.M. Forster“He was not sure, but liked it. It recurred when they met suddenly or had been silent. It beckoned to him across intellect, saying, "This is all very well, you're clever, we know—but come!" It haunted him so that he watched for it while his brain and tongue were busy, and when it came he felt himself replying, "I'll come—I didn't know.""You can't help yourself now. You must come.""I don't want to help myself.""Come then."He did come. He flung down all the barriers—not at once, for he did not live in a house that can be destroyed in a day.”
E.M. Forster, Maurice“Ladies sheltering behind men, men sheltering behind servants - the whole system's wrong, and she must challenge it.”
E.M. Forster, Howards End“we may say that History develops, Art stands still”
E.M. Forster, Aspects of the Novel“If you deliver excellence right now, that gives you the best shot at the best future you've got coming.”
Robert Forster“I write in the morning, I walk in the afternoon and I read in the evening. It's a very easy, lovely life.”
Margaret Forster“Genius is the power of lighting one's own fire!”
