"If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays it would be very exciting, both for us and for her" (A Room with a view)

In A Room with a view there's a dialogue that I could never forget:
May I say something rather daring?
Oh Mr. Beebe, you sound like Miss Lavish. Don't say you're writing a novel too.
If I were, you'd be my heroin, and I should write: If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it would be very exciting, both for us and for her.

If you have read the book or watched the movie you know that Miss Honeychurch was smart enough (and lucky) to make the right choice and live as she plays Beethoven...
My dear friends, are we living as we play, sing, dance, draw, paint, ...? If not, what are we waiting for?
