We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so... - E. M. Forster

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

"Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake."

"The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists."

"History develops, art stands still."

"Love is always being given where it is not required."
