A Quote by E. M. Forster

Sudden conversion ... is particularly attractive to the half-baked mind. — © E. M. Forster
Sudden conversion ... is particularly attractive to the half-baked mind.
I don't exactly know what it means to be ready. A cake when the oven timer goes off? Am I fully baked, or only half-baked?
Labels need to work with artists to help them achieve their best work, not to jam records out that are half-baked or three-quarters baked.
Living a spiritual life requires a change of heart, a conversion. Such a conversion may be marked by a sudden inner change, or it can take place through a long, quiet process of transformation. But it always involves an inner experience of oneness.
When you go after someone who has a deep ideological belief set that is contradictory with your own, it's conversion. Conversion is hard. Conversion is miraculous. We have entire religions built around the idea of conversion. Politics is not a religion. Politics is about persuasion.
I've seen some women who are not particularly attractive but they have an assurance, and there's something so attractive about someone who doesn't have to work so hard.
There's nothing particularly physical that I find attractive in a man. It's men with a passion for something that I find attractive.
I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
I know when something is kind of half-baked.
The half-baked sermon causes spiritual indigestion
Most hard-boiled people are half-baked.
Mind is a duality; it is always split. There is no single point on which the mind agrees in totality. Half of the mind will agree and half of the mind will disagree, and whatever you choose, you are choosing only the half. The remaining half is going to take revenge. The unchosen part, the left over, will wait for its chance to show you that whatever you have chosen is wrong. But it does not matter which part you choose. Choice itself is wrong.
Half-baked truth is dangerous - be it the propaganda of media or somebody else.
Man is perhaps half mind and half matter in the same way as the polyp is half plant and half animal. The strangest creatures are always found on the border lines of species.
When you pitch a half-baked idea it's so easy for someone to pick it apart and hate on it.
The qualities that make Twitter seem inane and half-baked are what makes it so powerful.
The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.
