| 0c11e6c | The substance of my life is a private conversation with myself which to turn into a dialogue would be equivalent to self-destruction. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| d93a17a | Instintivamente se sentia identificado con aquellos heroes que comenzaban con H. Homero. Hannibal. Hobbes. Hume. Hamlet. Hitler. Que cuadrilla. Solo su propio nombre parecia algo vacio, una especie de no-nombre, otra causa de resentimiento, irredimible por los reyes. Y, por supuesto, la misma letra H era una no-letra, una simple inhalacion, una nada, una carencia de identidad inconstante que en ruso se convertia en G. Gamlet, Gitler, Genry... | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 8e82de6 | Vives en un estado ilusorio. La conciencia humana comun es un velo ilusorio. Nuestra ilusion principal es el concepto que tenemos de nosotros mismos, de nuestra importancia que no ha de ser violada, de nuestra dignidad que no debe ser escarnecida. De esta ilusion mana todo nuestro resentimiento, todo nuestro deseo de violencia, de vengar las ofensas, de afirmarnos a nosotros mismos. Todos somos escarnecidos, Cristo fue escarnecido, nada pue.. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 131d9f6 | Te amo. ?Te sorprende? No se. Amar a alguien es simplemente un hecho. No quiero decir que no hubiera, y que no haya, razones para amarte. Podria hallar miles. Pero en cuanto al pasado, al siempre-haber-sido de este amor, es algo que esta ahi y a duras penas consigo recordar alguna epoca en la que no te amara. Quiero que seas capaz de verme, y como mi amor por ti es una parte esencial de mi (de mi entera, convirtiendome en algo mas que yo mi.. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| bb69c4f | I am looking out of my window in an anxious and resentful state of mind, oblivious to my surroundings, brooding perhaps on some damage done to my prestige. Then suddenly I observe a hovering kestrel. In a moment everything is altered. The brooding self with its hurt vanity has disappeared. There is nothing now but kestrel. And when I return to thinking of the other matter it seems less important | iris-murdoch philosophy | Iris Murdoch | |
| 9957998 | Pero es que no puedo compartir nada contigo... No puedo compartir tus recuerdos, tu idioma, tu musica, tu trabajo, nada. Soy solo... solo una mujer. --Una mujer. ?Y acaso esto no es serlo todo? --No, no lo es. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 07470ad | Every night is an imitation of death. Without that I would have killed myself long ago.' She | Iris Murdoch | ||
| e70df2d | Como todavia no hablase, dije: --?Podriamos ser felices? Honor dijo: --Esto no tiene nada que ver con la felicidad, nada en absoluto. Era cierto. Acepte la promesa de sus palabras. Dije: --No se si sobrevivire a ello. Honor dijo con una esplendida sonrisa: --!Tienes que correr el riesgo! | Iris Murdoch | ||
| e6100f6 | Comprendo. --Anadi--: Tu me acusaste en una ocasion de decir tonterias. Si yo soy un privilegiado solo por haberte visto abrazando a tu hermano... Seguia callada, sonriendo otra vez. Trate de no devolverle la sonrisa. Dije: --Me dijiste que eras una cabeza cortada. ?Se pueden mantener relaciones humanas con una cabeza cortada? | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 4a5aad0 | Tu amor por mi no vive en el mundo real. Si, no niego que sea amor. Pero no todos los amores tienen un cauce por el que correr, y este amor no tiene ningun cauce en absoluto. Debido a lo que yo soy y a lo que viste, represento para ti un terrible objeto de fascinacion. Yo soy una cabeza cortada, como las que usaban las tribus primitivas y los antiguos alquimistas, que las ungian con aceite y colocaban un pedazo de oro sobre la lengua para h.. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 9c60dde | Religion is having an intense attitude and no time off... religion is about those awful deep things. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| fa86ae4 | Existentialism, in both its Continental and its Anglo-Saxon versions, is an attempt to solve the problem without really facing it: to solve it by attributing to the individual an empty, lonely freedom, a freedom, if he wishes, to 'fly in the face of the facts'. What it pictures is indeed the fearful solitude of the individual marooned upon a tiny island in the middle of a sea of scientific facts, and morality escaping from science only by a.. | freedom | Iris Murdoch | |
| 8896649 | There is a gulf fixed between those who can sleep and those who cannot. It is one of the greatest divisions of the human race. --Iris Murdoch Nuns and Soldiers | Stephen King | ||
| 9732fd3 | And oh, when we still used to sleep together, lying awake at night and finding one's only consolation in imagining in detail how one would go downstairs and find a hatchet and smash one's partners head in and mash it into a bloody pudding on the pillow! | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 16bc0ed | Vera usted, todo empezo con unas cartas. --?Cartas? --Si, los seres humanos deberian tener muchisimo mas cuidado con las cartas. Son unas armas muy poderosas. Sin embargo, la gente las escribe en momentos de emocion y quienes las reciben no las destruyen. | cartas emoción | Iris Murdoch | |

| a4d906b | Me querras siempre? --No tengo ni la menor idea. --Pues yo a ti te querre siempre. --Eso esta bien. ?Podremos meternos por ahi? --No, no creo... Tu eres Apolo y yo soy Marsyas. Acabaras dejandome. --Eso de Apolo y Marsyas es una buena imagen del amor. --?Que quieres decir? --Pues que la agonia de Marsyas es la inevitable agonia del alma humana en su deseo de llegar a Dios. --!Cuantas cosas sabes! | amor apolo dios marsyas | Iris Murdoch | |

| fc674ec | Los hombres adultos manifiestan la misma facilidad para hacer suposiciones metafisicas completamente absurdas que ellos encuentran consoladoras. Por ejemplo, la suposicion de que el bien es reluciente y bueno mientras que el mal es tetrico o por lo menos muy oscuro. En realidad la experiencia contradice por completo esa suposicion. El bien es aburrido. ?Que novelista ha logrado hacer interesante a un hombre bueno? Es caracteristico de este .. | hombres mal metafísica | Iris Murdoch | |
| 8901a97 | Mercifully one forgets one's love affairs as one forgets one's dreams. | dalliances dreams foibles love lovers memory regrets romances | Iris Murdoch | |
| 2f2a032 | The past and the present are after all so close, so almost one, as if time were an artificial teasing out of a material which longs to join, to interpenetrate, and to become heavy and very small like some of those heavenly bodies scientists tell us of. | history introspection memory past present reflection time | Iris Murdoch | |
| 3fb1ba4 | What is more tormenting than a meeting after a long time, when all the words fall to the ground like dead things, and the spirit that should animate them floats disembodied in the air? We both felt its presence. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 72e434d | This talk of love means very little. Love is not a feeling. It can be tested. Love is action, it is silence. It's not the emotional straining and scheming for possession that you used to think it was. | Iris Murdoch | ||

| a3e8adb | Ce mi se potriveste mie cel mai bine este dramatismul despartirilor sau asteptarea impacientata a inceputurilor si a intalnirilor.Nicicand n-as putea prefera plicticoasa eterna prezenta a casniciei.Nu imi place nici macar sa imi impart patul.[...]Casatoria e un fel de lavaj al creierului,care iti sileste spiritul sa accepte o suita intreaga de orori.Cat de neglijenti,de urati si lipsiti de farmec isi ingaduie adeseori sa devina oamenii casa.. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| ef729d0 | It is not simply that suppression of self is required before accurate vision can be obtained. The great artist sees his objects (and this is true whether they are sad, absurd, repulsive or even evil) in a light of justice and mercy. The direction of attention is, contrary to nature, outward, away from self which reduces all to a false unity, towards the great surprising variety of the world, and the ability so to direct attention is love. | attention evil good learning-to-see love self | Iris Murdoch | |
| fcc2d7b | To anyone who will take the trouble to become attached to her she will immediately give a devoted, generous, imaginative and completely uncapricious attention, which is still a calculated avoidance of self-surrender. This is no doubt another reason why she never went into films; her private life must be an almost full-time activity. This has the sad result too that her existence is one long act of disloyalty; and when I knew her she was con.. | very-me | Iris Murdoch | |

| 4d6e7bb | No niegas que hay una causalidad... --dijo Morgan que estaba decidida a no enfadarse con el. Pero deseaba de todo corazon que se marchara. Julius se sento en uno de los sillones, quito un cojin y se puso comodo. --Causalidad, en efecto. Si es que te refieres a algo como la ley de Grimm o la de Verner. Pero estas son simples observaciones de las regularidades superficiales y son en definitiva extremadamente aburridas. El lenguaje es un lio b.. | filología lenguaje | Iris Murdoch | |
| ce9725e | Rosina had the fierce charm of the rather nasty girl in the fairy-tale who fails to get the prince, but is more interesting than the girl who does, and has better lines too. | fairy-tales nasty women | Iris Murdoch | |
| 790555f | The painter copies this bed from one point of view. He is thus at three removes from reality. He does not understand the bed, he does not measure it, he could not make it. | artist | Iris Murdoch | |
| 30a9349 | Art both expresses and gratifies the lowest part of the soul, and feeds and enlivens base emotions which ought to be left to wither. | artists | Iris Murdoch | |
| 28117f4 | The painter and the writer are not just copyists or even illusionists, but through some deeper vision of their subject-matter may become privileged truth tellers. | fiction truth | Iris Murdoch | |

| a7f1d49 | Jednakze zdolalem pojac, jak falszywym mitem jest haute cuisine, wytworna kuchnia (...) Juz sama strata czasu na ich przygotowanie jest nonsensem (...) Panuje rowniez zludny poglad, ze przyrzadzenie niezwykle wyszukanej potrawy to zajecie bardziej 'tworcze' niz gotowanie rzeczy prostych. (...) Pretensjonalna angielska gospodyni nie tylko myli sie uwazajac umiejetnosc przygotowywania pracochlonnych, wyszukanych potraw za cnote, lecz takze cz.. | wytworna-kuchnia | Iris Murdoch | |

| 4d6520d | This is fine living, indeed," Neddie cried. "Poor Collingforth is charged with murder, and you can do nothing but consume a quantity of cake!" I closed my book and surveyed him narrowly. "Lizzy had informed me the you are invariably peevish when suffering the pangs of hunger. Call for some more cake, I beg, and tell me of the inquest." | Stephanie Barron | ||
| 1d206c1 | So that's the way of it, is it." Mr. Taylor rejoined, not to be deterred. " You intend to tell us nothing?" "The ways of Justice, like the secrets of the marriage bed, are best enshrouded in silence," Neddie intoned. Mr. Taylor merely snorted at this, while Lizzy laid a hand caressingly on my brother's shoulder. "Poor lamb," she crooned, "you shall be led to the slaughter.

| 9f8613f | I was treated once more to a novelist's valuable lesson, however--in apprehending that one's perception of plot and character are influenced entirely by one's own experience. To hear Mary tell the story of our Christmas at The Vyne, one would have thought that she was hounded by violence from first to last--perceived more than anybody of the nature of the probable murderer--and barely escaped with her life. It was a lesson in writerly humil.. | Stephanie Barron |
