Murdoch Quotes

“The British version of 'Shit My Dad Says' is really entertaining.”
― Jeremy Scahill

“It had been his fate not to be interested in anything except everything.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Philosopher's Pupil

“The power of the press consists in the fact that every individual who serves it feels only slightly pledged or bound to it. He usually gives his opinion, but sometimes does not give it, in order to help his party or the politics of his country, or even himself....a man who has money and influence can turn any opinion into the public one. Whoever realises that most people are weak in small things, and wants to attain his own purposes through them, is always a dangerous human being.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
