More Quotes from E.M. Forster:

Man has to pick up the use of his functions as he goes along- especially the function of Love.
E.M. Forster
She would only point out the salvation that was latent in his own soul, and in the soul of every man. Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.
E.M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E.M. Forster

E.M. Forster
