Iris Murdoch was born today Dublin in 1919.
"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."
"Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one's luck."
"We can only learn to love by loving."
".... I have a horror of writing philosophical novels in a full theoretical sense, where the philosophy is really sticking out or weighing down on the thing. I think this would destroy one's ability to tell a good story and one's ability to create character, which is very much more what I want to do than produce theoretical explanations of the world."
