Two thoughts from E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View …

… one a profound comment by the narrrator:

… and one, spoken by Lucy, a little disturbing:

He seems to see the good in everyone. No one would take him for a clergyman.

‘You have to trust that every true friendship has no end …. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as to those whom God has given you to love.’
