“How fortunate that it was an 'unconventional' party, where formalities are ruled out! On this basis Aziz found the English ladies easy to talk to, he treated them like men. Beauty would have troubled him, but Mrs Moore was so old and Miss Quested so plain that he was spared this anxiety.”

E.M. Forster,
A Passage to India
“We aren’t even seeing the other side of the world; that’s our complaint,” said Adela. Mrs. Moore agreed; she too was disappointed at the dullness of their new life. They had made such a romantic voyage across the Mediterranean and through the sands of Egypt to the harbour of Bombay, to find only a gridiron of bungalows at the end of it. But she did not take the disappointment as seriously as Miss Quested, for the reason that she was forty years older, and had learnt that Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually. She said again that she hoped that something interesting would be arranged for next Tuesday.” ― E.M. Forster, A Passage to India
“I don’t know about the rest of you, but my future is standing right here, and that fucker hurt her. I’m not going to play fucking nice with him.” ― E.M. Moore, The Ballers of Rockport High

“What spurred this on?” Shrugging, she says, “That needy bitch was annoying me. Then I remembered when you said you thought about me in your classroom, and I couldn’t resist.” ― E.M. Moore, Pretty Secrets
“I’m sick of doing what everyone expects me to.” ― E.M. Moore, Pretty Secrets
“You never know what will happen where the Knights are concerned, though. We’re all in their game. They make the rules.” ― E.M. Moore, Pretty Secrets
“then I remember one important thing: Just because I haven’t really lived in the world, doesn’t mean I haven’t lived a thousand lives in books.” ― E.M. Moore, This Fearless Girl
“This girl has gotten under my skin from the beginning, and there’s a reason for that. She’s not like the others I’ve had and disposed of. She’s stuck with me,” ― E.M. Moore, Lovely Deceit
“I fall asleep in his arms—in a new world where I say I love you—and I’ve never felt more at home.” ― E.M. Moore, This Fearless Girl
“Did you fuck our professor?” “No, I just sucked his dick.” “Oh, okay. Well, that’s better,” he says, rolling his eyes.” ― E.M. Moore, Lovely Deceit
“We are heading for a radical revision where you could say we are heading towards the end of the world, but more in the R.E.M. sense than the revelation sense. That is what apocalypse means - revelation.” ― Alan Moore
