“I don’t think true love means your only love. I think true love means loving truly… Maybe you get lots of true loves then. Maybe that’s the gift you get for being brave.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, One True Loves

“Love is knowledge of the individual.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good

“Philosophy is often a matter of finding a suitable context in which to say the obvious.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good

“Love is the general name of the quality of attachment, and it is capable of infinite degradation and is the source of our greatest errors. But when it is even partially refined, it is the energy and passion of the soul in its search for good, the force that joins us to good, and joins us to the world through good. Only rarely does one meet somebody in whom it positively shines, in whom one apprehends with amazement the absence of the anxious, avaricious tentacles of the self.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good
