Iris Murdoch

One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.

Falling out of love is very enlightening. For a short while you see the world with new eyes.

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

The cry of equality pulls everyone down.

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.
Iris Murdoch - O Magazine, February 2004
We can only learn to love by loving.
