True love gallops, it flies, it is the swiftest of all modes of thought, swifter even than hate and fear.
Iris MurdochNo love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.
Iris Murdochwe are such inward secret creatures, that inwardness the most amazing thing about us, even more amazing than our reason. but we cannot just walk into the cavern and look around. most of what we think we know about our minds is pseudo-knowledge. we are all such shocking poseurs, so good at inflating the importance of what we think we value.
