Additional quotes by E. M. Forster
I went to our Theological College lately, Westcott House, and we had a sort of chat.

I must not run on like this so. Or rather what I mean is I have just finished the biography of my great aunt. Understanding, or partially understanding, her has been quite a large enough job.
