More From Iris Murdoch

Privilege is not in and of itself bad; what matters is what we do with privilege. i want to live in a world where all women have access to education, and all women can earn phd’s, if they so desire. privilege does not have to be negative, but we have to share our resources and take direction about how to use our privilege in ways that empower those who lack it.
What Matters Empowering Desire
Obsessions of the orient, of the desert, of its ardor and its emptiness, of the shadows of palm gardens, of the garments white and wide - obsessions where the senses go berserk, where nerves are exasperated, and which made me, at the onset of each night, believe sleep impossible.
Believe Sleep Night
Sigmund freud was a novelist with a scientific background. he just didn't know he was a novelist. all those damn psychiatrists after him, they didn't know he was a novelist either.
Umpires Surfing Novelists
I have done scenes as harvey two-face. it's interesting. i won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but i think that i can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character. he's going to be interesting, and i think that's what makes this character important in the movie-you get to see him as he was before, as in the comic books. harvey is a very good guy in the comic books. he's judicious. he cares. he's passionate about what he loves and then he turns into this character. so you will see that in this film.
Book Character Thinking
I don't think i want to play title roles. i don't want to be the face on the poster. i don't want that pressure of having the success riding on my shoulders. i just want to play the most interesting parts. i actually think it's incredibly rare to get an interesting female character that is the lead in a film. usually the character parts are so much more interesting to play.
Character Thinking Play
My only passions were books and music. as you might guess, i led a lonely life… not that i knew what i wanted in life - i didn’t. i loved reading novels to distraction, but didn’t write well enough to be a novelist; being an editor or a critic was out, too, since my tastes ran to the extremes. novels should be for pure personal enjoyment, i decided, not part of your work or study. that’s why i didn’t study literature

Similar Quotes
Our aim - our only aim - is to be at home in christ. he's not a roadside park or hotel room. he's our permanent mailing address. christ is our home. he's our place of refuge and security. we're comfortable in his presence, free to be our authentic selves. we know our way around in him. we know his heart and his ways. we rest in him, find our nourishment in him. his roof of grace protects us from storms of guilt. his walls of providence secure us from destructive winds. his fireplace warms us during the lonely winters of life. we linger in the abode of christ and never leave.
Lonely Wall Home
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. for they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
Lonely Loneliness Being Alone
Nothing makes us more vulnerable than loneliness except greed.
