One should go easy on smashing other people's lies. Better to concentrate on one's own.
Iris MurdochPhilosophy! Empty thinking by ignorant conceited men who think they can digest without eating!
Iris MurdochEducation doesnโt make you happy. Nor does freedom. We donโt become happy just because weโre free โ if we are. Or because weโve been educated โ if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance โ the confidence โ to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.
