Iris Murdoch Real Quotations

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

Real worship involves waiting.

Most real relationships are involuntary.

Real misery cuts off all paths to itself.

Art and morality are, with certain provisos…one. Their essence is the same. The essence of both of them is love. Love is the perception of individuals. Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality.
