More From Iris Murdoch
- "People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."
- "There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship."
- "In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way."
