Quote by Edward Morgan Forster

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

We can only understand each other superficially, we cannot develop ourselves even if we want to; what we call privacy is only an expedient; perfect knowledge is an illusion. But in a novel we can know people perfectly and. .. we find here a compensation for their opacity in real life. In this sense, fiction is truer than history.

Nu ne putem înțelege unii pe alții decât superficial, nu ne putem dezvolta pe noi înșine chiar dacă o dorim; cea ce numim intimitate e numai un expedient; cunoașterea perfectă e o iluzie. Dar într-un roman putem cunoaște oamenii perfect și. .. găsim aici o compensație pentru opacitatea lor din viața reală. În acest sens, ficțiunea e mai adevărată decât istoria.
