Эдвард Морган Форстер цитаты страница 4

„Языковой барьер пропускает лишь хорошее. Мы бываем лучше, когда говорим на свежем, новом для нас языке, чьи слова не загрязнены нашей мелочностью или пороками.“

«Куда боятся ступить ангелы»

„Не питаемый ни Землей, ни Небом, он двигался вперед — светильник, который угас бы, если бы материализм был истиной. Он не имел Бога, не имел любимого — двух обычных побуждений к действию. Но изо всех сил он стремился остаться на плаву, ибо этого требовало его достоинство. За ним никто не следил, и он за собой не следил, но усилия, что он прилагал, относятся к наивысшим достижениям человечества и превосходят любую легенду о Небесах.“

«Куда боятся ступить ангелы»

„К вечеру он испытал срыв, когда подумал о том, что провел с Клайвом всего-то один полный день! И надо же было им носиться, как дуракам, вместо того, чтобы обниматься! Морис не понимал, что все получилось наилучшим образом — он был слишком молод, чтобы распознавать тривиальность в соприкосновении ради соприкосновения. Если бы друг не сдерживал его, он бы вволю насытился страстью. А позже, когда любовь его обрела новую силу, он понял, какую услугу оказала ему судьба. Одно объятие во тьме и один долгий светлый день с ветром в лицо были двумя столпами, существовавшими нераздельно. И мучительная разлука, какую он переживал сейчас, явилась необходимым звеном, вместо того чтобы стать разрушительницей.“

«Морис»

“When you come back you will not be you. And I may not be I.”
