To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art;... - E. M. Forster

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

"History develops, art stands still."

"Love is always being given where it is not required."

"The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists."

"Only a struggle twists sentimentality and lust together into love."
