Quote by E. M. Forster

History develops, art stands still.

History develops, art stands still.

Summary

This quote suggests that history is constantly evolving and progressing, while art remains unchanging. It implies that the events, discoveries, and advancements that occur in history mold and shape societies, cultures, and civilizations over time. On the other hand, art is seen as a static element, an expression of a particular moment in time that remains unaffected by the passage of history. It highlights the notion that art can be seen as a reflection or representation of historical periods but exists as a timeless form of expression that endures beyond the confines of time.

I'd seen glimpses of a different me. It was a different me because in those increments of time I thought I actually became a winner.The truth, however, is painful.It was a truth that told me with a scratching internal brutality that I was me, and that winning wan't natural for me.
