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.

In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's.
