More From E. M. Forster

I hated sports. i hated sports, and i hated people who played them, and i hated people who watched them, and i hated people who didn't hate people who watched or played them.
Sports Hate Real
I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. i hated the sunsets of whatever colour, i hated its beauty and its magic and the secret i would never know. i hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. above all i hated her. for she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. she had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what i had lost before i found it.

If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, unselfishness. but if you asked almost any of the great christians of old he would have replied, love - you see what has happened? a negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. the negative ideal of unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point.
Christian Love You Men
A manhattan lawyer who describes himself as "america`s leading expert on the militia movement" writes that he hugged his three-year-old kid the night of the oklahoma city bombing. he told junior that it happened "because they hated too much" for now, let`s accept the premise that one hundred sixty-eight humans died in oklahoma city because people "hated too much" now answer these questions if you would be so kind: did a federal sniper shoot vicki weaver in the face because he hated too much? did our government conduct the tuskegee with syphilis on black soldiers because it hated too much?
Writing Kids Night
The nature of the labyrinth, i scribbled into my spiral notebook, and the way out of it. this teacher rocked. i hated discussion classes. i hated talking, and i hated listening to everyone else stumble on their words and try to phrase things in the vaguest possible way so they wouldn't sound dumb, and i hated how it was all just a game of trying to figure out what the teacher wanted to hear and then saying it. i'm in class, so teach me.
Notebook Teacher Talking
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. i wanted to be the last one she loved. and i knew i wasn’t. i knew it, and i hated her for it. i hated her for not caring about me. i hated her for leaving that night, and i hated myself , too, not only because i let her go but because if i had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. she would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and i would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.

In all your course, walk with god and follow christ as a little, poor, helpless child, taking hold of christ's hand, keeping your eye on the mark of the wounds on his hands and side, whence came the blood that cleanses you from sin and hiding your nakedness under the skirt of the white shining robe of his righteousness.

I must have justice, or i will destroy myself. and not justice in some remote and infinite time and space, but here on earth...i want to see with my own eyes the lamb lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. i want to be there when everyone suddenly understands what it has all been about. all the religions of the world are built on this longing, and i am a believer.
