Clergymen

Assume what you will, but I love funny lines poking fun at the clergy.  This is a classic:

"He seems to see good in everyone. No one would take him for a clergyman." - Lucy Honeychurch, Room With a View by EM Forster

Charlotte Bartlett on Big Things

A Room With a View (E. M. Forster)

"Why? Why were most big things unladylike? Charlotte had once explained to her why. It was not that ladies were inferior to men; it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves. "

Who listens to sermons?

A Room With a View (E. M. Forster)

"She and Miss Bartlett are full of the praises of your sermon."

"My sermon?" cried Mr. Beebe. "Why ever did she listen to it?"
