E. M. Forster on Beauty

1879–1970 England

← All quotes by E. M. Forster

2 quotes

Nonsense and beauty have close connections — closer connections than Art will allow.

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. [...] The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due—she reminds us to much of a prima donna.
