Quote by E. M. Forster
We are not concerned with the very poor. They are unthinkable, and only to be approached by the statistician or the poet.
Summary
This quote reflects a divisive and exclusionary attitude towards poverty. It suggests that the impoverished population is inconceivable and can only be looked at from a statistical or artistic perspective, rather than addressing their needs and struggles. It implies a lack of empathy and fails to recognize the importance of understanding and helping the very poor in creating a more just society.
