29 April 2018: "Can't it strike you even for a moment that your life has been heroic?" --Helen to Margaret, at the close of Howards End.
I will confess to not having read Forster's novel (and now I really want to), but I finished watching the new mini-series this morning and loved it. The line quoted above brought tears to my eyes, reminding me a bit of Eliot's thoughts about quiet heroism in Middlemarch.
