Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

E. M. Forster

Adventure, Muddle

E. M. Forster (2010). “A Passage to India”, p.25, RosettaBooks

He built up a situation that was far enough from the truth. It never occurred to him that Helen was to blame. He forgot the intensity of their talk, the charm that had been lent him by sincerity, the magic of Oniton under darkness and of the whispering river. Helen loved the absolute. Leonard had been ruined absolutely, and had appeared to her as a man apart, isolated from the world. A real man, who cared for adventure and beauty, who desired to live decently and pay his way, who could have travelled more gloriously through life than the Juggernaut car that was crushing him.

E. M. Forster

Crush, Real, Adventure
