Quote by E. M. Forster

Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.

Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect

It urges individuals to break free from living fragmented, isolated lives, as connection eliminates the boundaries between different aspects of existence, leading to a richer and more fulfilling existence for both the individual and the collective.
