1 January: 10 E.M. Forster quotes

To start the year, 10 quotes from EM Forster on his birthday:

  1. One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
  2. We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
  3. Life is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along.
  4. If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
  5. Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate.
  6. I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them.
  7. The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
  8. Mistrust all enterprises that require new clothes.
  9. Though life is very glorious, it is difficult.
  10. Don't be mysterious; there isn't the time.

While there, he meets the mysterious Lady Antonia du Cane, and is powerfully drawn to her. It soon becomes clear, however, that Lady du Cane is not what she seems. Matt’s quest to discover who she really is almost costs him his career.


A modern day Guy Fawkes gathers a coterie around him with the aim of blowing up Parliament with a nuclear bomb. To achieve this, they need money. Lots of it.

Can the heroes put their differences aside in time to save the day?


Prime Minister Richard Miller and his wife Fiona grieve for their daughter, Yasmin, who has been missing for three years, and is presumed to be dead.
