“To do philosophy is to explore one’s own temperament, and yet, at the same time, to attempt to discover the truth.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good

“I have spoken of efforts of attention directed upon individuals, and of obedience to reality as an exercise of love, and have suggested that reality and individual present themselves to us in moral contexts as ideal endpoints or ideas of reason. This surely is the place where the concept of good lives. Good, real, love — these words are closely connected.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good

“We use our imagination not to escape the world, but to join it, and this exhilarates us because of the distance between our ordinary dulled consciousness and an apprehension of the real.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good
